This may not be what you expect. So check out their myspace page to preview a few tracks from this disk...

The unifying sound here harkens back to the mid-seventies--lush strings and horns, energetic beats, itchy guitars, soulful harmonies and soaring lead vocals. Some may feel that this more closely resembles Gnarls Barkley than previous Jazzanova disks, but this album could have come from no one else. A sensitive ear will recognize the Jazzanova sound buried deep within the mix. But this album isn't so much about the Jazzanova sound. It's about the songs. And the songs are wonderful--with terrific performances and fine writing.

And while this may lack some of the in-your-face dynamics and energy of the remix albums or the "In Between" CD, this new offering has a heart and soul unlike anything Jazzanova has ever done before.

To think this has been put together by a bunch of German guys... I mean what could they possibly know about Soul or Funk. Jazzanova are great at Electronica and Acid Jazz, but when you hear this you're gonna wonder why they haven't been making Soul all along.
This is one incredible album.

The thing I like the most about Jazzanova is they always turn me on to some really good artists. Fat Freddy's Drop, Calexico, Heavy, Randolph, Jose James, etc., etc. All of the things I've checked out from them have all become faves in my library without fail. They're really hip to what's good with their ear to the underground. Check 'em out if you wanna discover their taste, which I think is excellent.
