Don't be fooled by the name. The only thing Cato Salsa Experience has to do with Latin American big-band dance music is that it makes you want to throw your jacket in the corner, take your partner by the hand and cut the rug until it's a tattered and torn smoking ruin.
Like the band's Web site says, "A Good Tip for a Good Time" may have been recorded in an idyllic summerhouse on the west coast of Norway, but it sounds like it was taped live in a hot, smoky basement livehouse in the late '60s.
Eleven tracks are packed into just over half an hour, because the Cato Salsa Experience believe in no wastage. If a song is to last more than four minutes, there has to be a very good reason. The only one here that does is "I Can Give You Anything," coming in at an extravagant four minutes 31 seconds, and the only reason for this is that CSE reins itself in by slowing the pace so the sound's more like the pop of The Kinks than the rock of The Who.
