Description:
Stéphane Pompougnac's Hôtel Costes series gets a boost on its sixth installment, mixing in a bit more grit with the pretty ambience and silky beats. Actually, "grit" isn't quite accurate; Pompougnac's musical choices still lean heavily toward the cool, classy lounge of Jean-Louis Costes' famous Parisian hotel/club.

Stéphane Pompougnac's Hôtel Costes series gets a boost on its sixth installment, mixing in a bit more grit with the pretty ambience and silky beats. Actually, "grit" isn't quite accurate; Pompougnac's musical choices still lean heavily toward the cool, classy lounge of Jean-Louis Costes' famous Parisian hotel/club. But bits of urban groove and subdued jungle rhythms are present as well. Tosca's druggy "Rolf Royce" (from Delhi9) mines a simple, slap-bass line like a Happy Mondays outtake, while Minus 8 makes a jazzy, beautiful mess out of "Snowblind." Unlike past efforts, Costes 6 gets better as it goes, wrapping with the d&b-meets-French-chanteuse clatter of "Un Monde Sans Frime." Like slightly uncouth, yet good-natured guests, these new Hôtel residents might not be as fashionable, but they're still the best things about the joint. --Matthew Cooke
