5.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this, June 28, 2003

This album is my secret weapon at party's where
hip cool rhythmic vibes are the obsession of every
D.J. wanna-be. I play this one and heads turn
and the night becomes magic.

Please don't buy this because I want to be the one
that delivers that amazing song that everyone is
blown away and says "who's this"?

Being made aware of this stellar group by Hotel Costes #1
I bought one of their earlier albums and loved it. Years
later I wanted to catch up with them so I bought DBC and

couldn't get over the intensity of this album. Did I already
mention not to buy this and maybe perhaps buy another
repetitive drumbeat release by Thievery Corporation.
Please do not buy this album as it will open a window
into a futuristic world of sound only Yello has delved.
Stop now, this is your last warning.

5.0 out of 5 stars So sexually tasteful!, June 24, 2001

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Death By Chocolate (Audio CD)

De-Phazz, headed as always by Pit Baumgartner, has created again a real masterpice in its music style. Completely new sound, which is refreshing, subtle and seductive, makes you feel like anew born...somewhere in the 60's.

Pat Appleton with her beautiful, sweet and mild voice paints the album with coziness and love. Karl Frierson adds again some tenderness and easy-flowing. Barbara Lahr is great with her mystic and profound voice. Otto Engelhardt and Ray George Randolph add amazing trombone and percussion pieces.

Almost all songs, presented on this album, deserve a highest attention, but nevertheless, there are some which get into your mind at the very first listening to it. "Something Special", "Nu Chic", "Death By Chocolate", "Online" and "Love's Labour's Lost" are the ones which are my favourite.

In general, I must admit that Pit Baumgartner has made smth unbelievable nowadays - he created completely new sounds without copying himself, with his "own" de-phazz's atmosphere, though, which you won't confuse with any existing music. A really must have for De-Phazz fans and for those, who like jazz with modern-influenced electro sound!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lounge the way it should be ..., September 23, 2002

A fabulous album ... tres Fantastique ...

This album is wonderful ... Its lounge at its best ... Personal best is "Love labours Lost" Perfect for any occasion. I can listen to it day and night ... Great for parties and to wind down with your loved one, friends or just on your own. Cut the bread, serve the wine, get comfortable and unwind. the music makes you want to fly, makes you want to live, to be alive, to jump and dance ...

This is Lounge the way it should be. Even better than the Naked music collection (bare essentials, nude tempo. try it and you'll be hooked!
