Chilled out grooves and a retro soundtrack kind of feeling. Most tracks have guitar, bass, percussion and keyboards. Mostly instrumental with a few vocals here and there. Easily lounge or casino music. Reminds me of Henry Mancini and Ennio Morricone. Many songs are perfect for a night show, while some would be great for afternoon driving or a pool party. A bit on the cheesy side. This guys produced a couple of records for Los Straightjackets and this is evident here.
Track picks: 1, 4, 8, 10 ***FCC Clean***
** 1. uptempo, silly vocals intro, funky guitar, Mancini-style
2. downtempo, bossa nova rhythm with guitar+organ
3. midtempo, cheesy whistling, swinging rhythm, hammond
** 4. uptempo and funky! cool sounding keyboards+percussion at intro
5. downtempo, chilled lounge-style music
6. downtempo, bluesy, female vocals+guitar
7. midtempo, bossa nova+mandolin (?)
** 8. midtempo, strange sounding intro, very groovy keyboards, funky!
9. midtempo, rock n' roll style! silly horns and vocals
** 10. downtempo, Morricone-style, spaghetti western soundtrack
11. midtempo, pink-panther style guitar intro, jazzy, walking bass
12. downtempo, folk-style, sounds like Ry Cooder or Neil Young (?)
