AMG Review of Cafe Tel Aviv

Thom Jurek
All Music Guide

Café Tel Aviv is a collection of chillout, lounge music, and even club jazz by an international group of producers and DJs who are using Middle Eastern and Mediterranean motifs. A standout here is the Saafi Brothers' "Supernatural, Pt. 2," with its rippling guitars, bubbling keyboard loops, and skittering drum samples. Others include the futuristic bongo-riffic club jazz of Oforia with Space Cat's "Fly," and Angel Tears' luxuriantly exotic "Dmaot Malach." This set is a pleasant listening experience even if you already know by the title what you're getting.
