Review

Nu Cool is a double-disc collection of tracks from a collection of urban and dance artists more focused on the sublime than the outrageous, a welcome addition to the music scene during the late '90s. The surprising thing about this set is the sheer diversity of its artist list, which includes Erykah Badu, Jamiroquai, Terry Callier, NuYorican Soul, Zhane, Vanessa Rubin, Me'Shell NdegeOcello and the Blacknuss Allstars, among others. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
