Life is Worth Living, officially a second LP from El Niño Andrés, comes 9 years after its debut LP “Más Dinero Más Problemas”, but sound wise it’s still walking on the borderline between house, jazz and soul. El Niño’s usual combination of Rhodes and Moog improvisations on top of house and jazz-funk drum-lines is present on all album tracks, with live sax additions on “Come Closer” and “Mercy Mercy”. Album is an uptempo affair, but as usual with Jackie Brown releases, not your straightforward 4×4 routine – poly-rhythms and percussion drive “Wasting Your Life” and “Soul”, while “The Approach of Midnight” sounds like it could have been placed straight into a Tenet soundtrack LP
