"Swing Out Sister is my all-time favorite music group. However, this CD's avante guarde approach to jazz was a disappointment for me. The discordant arrangements are a far cry from their normal very cool treatment of contemporary jazz."

Hands down: Best album of the 1990s

"I chose this as album of the year in 1999 and have always loved it. However, SOS's Cuban album really achieved legend status on my iPod as I spent two weeks in Havana. The title of the album, the references to all things Havana and Cuba shows that this is a themed masterpiece. "If I Had the Heart" is the finest pop song I have ever heard. This is one of the three greatest albums in the HISTORY of pop music. To any SOS fan who didn't like it, I encourage you to listen to it again on headphones. Phenomenal!"

How could something this great be out of print?

"i put off buying this cd for some time due to its hefty price and some lackluster reviews (i should know better) but after hearing a couple of songs at swing outs canal room gig last year my interest was renewed, and so i finally purchased this cd (on ebay) and as it turns out this cd has become one of my most favorite and listened to cds. all the "bestest" elements of swing out style are present here, jazz, r&b, 60s pop, 70s soul, a nice culmination really of all the "bestest" aspects of their preceeding albums. its different- yet the same, youll never mistake swing out for being someone else thats for sure. this isnt one for completist or die hard fans, this is an album that every swing out fan, casual and die hard should own. its a shame it had such a limited release and a crime their record company doesnt push these guys more. ive been a fan a fairly long time (since kaleidascope world) and it bugs me i waited so long to pick this up. so if any one out there doesnt have this, hurry up and get it! youre missing out on some really great music."
