Jazz pop duo Matt Bianco crank up the pace with their latest release Echoes (unfortunately its Japanese release only). Its a high energy fest of Cuban Latin beats in the signature feel good Matt Bianco style. Highlight is the Meltdown Mix version of "Fire", an overheated frenzy of dance rhythms. Also worth mentioning are the catchy tracks "Something About Your Love" and "Love Like That". Matt Bianco has been around since the early 80's and proves consistently with each new release that the creative juices are yet to ebb. These CDs are definitely worth international release and exposure.

Superb new album from world-pop outfit Matt Bianco, released in July 2002. Featuring a brillant collection of ten songs with a strong latino flavour, this record just shows how good these guys have become at writing thumping, pulsating popsongs. Together with their new vocalist Hazel Sim they manage to make this album sparkle.

Matt Bianco is the kind of band that if re-incarnation exists I definitely want to come back as a musical artist of this group's caliber ! One can feel the sheer joy and creative artistry that went into this current project. This latest release is jam packed with rich Brazilian/Latin house grooves along with other pop-jazz, dance (with a hint of r&b and funk) tunes. Each song on its own merits pure explosive energy and fun which translates into one infectious fiesta. Despite the band's British/European origins, Echoes strongly emanates with the Miami Latin nightclub sound and scene ! MB is one of the best European imports who were able to leave the pop tag of the 80's and progress into something very fresh and vital on the music international circuit today !

Bumped into these guys when shopping for Basia after girlfriend finally came out after a way to long an absence. In a short time I now have five Matt Biancos in my music collection. The best way to describe Echoes is a amped up version of Bossa Nova. Every tract is a five star except for one and it's a four and a half. The only negative is that I do not have the CD version (way to expensive) I guess it's the old school creeping out! The MP3 version is reasonable price and was an awesome purchase!

MATT BIANCO IS BACK WITH ANOTHER FINE CD. AS A FAN FOR NEARLY 18 YEARS I KNOW THIS BANDS SOUND QUITE WELL. ECHOES IS CURRENT WITH TODAYS SOUND AND LIKE ALL MATT BIANCO SONGS IT IS REMARKABLY WELL WRITTEN. ANY TRUE MATT BIANCO FAN KNOWS THAT THIS BAND HAS NEVER MADE A BAD RECORDING. IN FACT I LIKE EVERY MATT BIANCO SONG ON EVERY RELEASE. THIS CD IS NO DIFFERENT, AND AS USUALL THE TWO MARKS WILL PLEASE THERE FAN BASE ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
