Amazon.com A relatively unknown soldier from the Big Beat wars of 1999, Cuba's Leap of Faith is an excellent representative of both the best and worst that the much-maligned genre had to offer. Thin, watery audio collages like "King of Kelly" and "Hail Mary" are nothing more than album filler, while the corny, horn-y "Havana" looks around for the EMF album it belongs to. On the plus side, the bluesy, almost Led Zeppelinish "Foxy's Den" gets the dance-groove, rock-swagger recipe just right, and the optimistic rap over a telegraphing guitar squall in "Cross the Line" is as furiously catchy as it is predictable. Ironically enough, the track that least seems to belong here, the sunny, wistful "Winter Hill" (with guest vocals from Mojave 3's Rachel Goswell), is the key reason to pick up this record. --Bob Michaels Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBUY IT! Monica Dinek | Copenhagen, Denmark | 03/15/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "You will love this cd. You can listen to it at any time. Enjoy Shara's beautiful voice, enjoy the music. Buy it, you won't regret it." Eclectic Big Beat Oliver Imkamp | San Francisco | 06/23/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Drawing on a variety of influences ranging from big beat, soul, and artists from the 4AD catalog "Leap of Faith" could possibly be one of the most overlooked albums of 1999. Flowing effortlessly from one track to the other "Leap of Faith" will keep your foot tapping during the entire duration of the album as well as uncover layered textures with each listen. Fans of Whale, Hooverphonic and Urban Dance Squad will not be disappointed by the solid debut of Cuba's "Leap of Faith". One of the best debut releases of 1999." I LIKES THIS!!! Oliver Imkamp | 10/23/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "Purchased the cd to further investigate one of the Earthling posse. It had all the factors which one needs to put the hand in the pocket. 4ad, an earthling, and a band name such as it is and also a rockin' cuban flag on the inlay sleve. Have listened to it a number of times. I must say that what I am feeling now is not what I felt initially. It is one of those prized cd's that work there way from the hidden depths of your collection to the rockin' front . Am delighted with the purchase and shall certainly push it amongst my mates. It is a soothing mixture of atmospheric music, rock n' roll and the occasional smile on the listeners face. Thumbs up y viva la revolucion."
