Comment:

Continental Café is the sweet melancholy of a rainy Tuesday afternoon, the sense of finality accompanying the burnt-orange dusk of a summer evening. It's a state of mind that evokes a gossamer gathering of breathy vocals, sugar-sweet melodies, honeyed harmonies, maybe a bossa nova shuffle and elegant electronics. Relax — you're about to be swept under the spell of the soundtrack of sophistication.
