<Urban House> Terance sticks to the formula with this latest addition to the award winning Music Box compilation series; two discs, titled Home and Away respectively, once again feature a selection of tracks arranged to elicit very different moods. Away, the clubbier of the two, has a warm, jazzy vibe to it, and while the track selection may never compel you to do more than tap your foot in appreciation, it should serve as a livener for a Friday night out on the town. Home has more of a Sunday afternoon chill-session feel to it, featuring mellow, soothing sounds with one or two up tempo tracks thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, that’s about all that can be said for the album. The insistence on including as many as six tracks by one artist is a little bewildering, especially when the quality of vocals on some of those tracks isn’t up to the standard fans of the series have come to expect. With the exception of sparklers from Chymamusique, Darque and Tabzunderground, the whole thing is little more than a rehash of the 5th in the series, and in a lot of ways, not as good.
