Details: Amazon.ca When one sets out to pay tribute to pornography, the task is a weird one. Is the Bacchanalian concept being heralded? The sex trade? The porn film tradition? Phone sex? When Howie B makes his nod to the porn industry, he merely rolls it all together, matching different sex vibes to different spots and different artists on this two-CD set. A persisting--really an undulating--moan is peppered throughout the set, giving it an uncertain erotic ambiance. But the compilation's eroticism is joined to the proverbial hip with porn's other constancy: voyeurism. Everything on the disc seems shrouded in beats and electronic atmospherics, with faint suggestions of sex emanating here and there. And because so much of the set is about suggestion and voyeurism, it's a fairly effective mood-setting ensemble. Ending this homage to porn is its most explicitly pornographic episode--and also the only tune to break the boundaries of musicality--the simple if tell-all dialogue of "Jenny Cum Lately" by Naked Funk. The song earns its chops by being something other than a song, a display of phone-sex verbal games that spare no details. It leaves the musical world behind, perhaps in astonishment of the blissful babble that takes the place of imagined-sex adventures. --Andrew Bartlett
