A relatively unknown soldier from the Big Beat wars of 1999, Cuba's Leap of Faith is an excellent representative of both the best and worst that the much-maligned genre had to offer. Thin, watery audio collages like "King of Kelly" and "Hail Mary" are nothing more than album filler, while the corny, horn-y "Havana" looks around for the EMF album it belongs to. On the plus side, the bluesy, almost Led Zeppelinish "Foxy's Den" gets the dance-groove, rock-swagger recipe just right, and the optimistic rap over a telegraphing guitar squall in "Cross the Line" is as furiously catchy as it is predictable. Ironically enough, the track that least seems to belong here, the sunny, wistful "Winter Hill" (with guest vocals from Mojave 3's Rachel Goswell), is the key reason to pick up this record. --Bob Michaels
