Sounds like a bunch of leftovers, despite a few standout tracks. If the archives work, I posted reviews a few weeks ago. You might also look into Yello. Probably you know them from "Oh Yeah", which is a good example of what they're about. Many of their songs have a Latin feel. Not IDM, though, rather highly unusual "pop". Often I get the sense of a suave, debonair gentleman in a tuxedo, but also with a big, red clown nose. _80-85 The New Mix in One Go_ is a great comp that is really an album to itself (import-only in the US; lots of overlap with _Stella_ but different mixes throughout). _Essential Yello_ offers a decent overview but instead I'd suggest any of the earlier albums. The first album, _Solid Pleasure_ is excellent but most of the Latin elements don't come into play until _Claro Que Si_ and after. The more recent albums, _Baby_, _Zebra_ and _Pocket Universe_ are solid and very well-produced, but the increasingly techno-oriented sound is less distinctive. --Mark
