New and Notable

The Baby Namboos, “Ancoast 2 Zambia,” Durban Poison/Palm Pictures. The English collective rides dark layers of modern rhythm and the sultry vocals of Aurora Borealis. Hypnotic and memorable. (Steve Appleford)

D’Angelo, “Voodoo,” Virgin. The singer’s artistic stamp may be fuzzy in places, but the generally stylish and seductive music in the long-awaited follow-up to “Brown Sugar,” his 1995 debut, is the mark of a commanding young artist. (Robert Hilburn)

Various artists, “Wonder Boys” soundtrack, Columbia/Sony Music Soundtrax. “Things Have Changed,” Bob Dylan’s first piece of music since “Time Out of Mind,” is filled with the provocative, puzzle-like declarations that have characterized his most memorable work. The music elsewhere on “Wonder Boys” was brought together with thought and purpose. (R.H.)
