Natural Fake and Death by Chocolate are by far better than this. If you want to put it in a five disc changer with the others, it will make your play list longer, but water the quality down. As with anything else, if you have money to blow, go ahead. If you are trying to be a bit eclectic with your music and want to be frugal, skip it.

Do yourself a favor and buy one of their albums!

De-phazz are like magicians....their music is WONDERFULL.....great for cocktails on a sunny day....happy music, a bit vintage and really actual. One of my favorites CD of the last years.....

The MONUMENTAL task of describing a De-Phazz album makes your head really spin out of control, just as it does when you listen to it. Any of their albums, but this in particular, is as close to musical genius as it's going to get. An almost infinite number of sounds come from every possible direction and at different speeds but in the end they all end up dancing in PERFECT harmony. It REALLY is nothing short of SPECTACULAR. They push the musical envelope in ways that no other band has ever done before, with the exception of maybe Radiohead, in its own genre of course, and I really mean that ! I am telling you, the background music in heaven is DE-PHAZZ (perfect melody in perfect harmony).

Now, after all that, you still want me to review this album? Well, let me give it a try. This is bizarrely beautiful NU-JAZZ. I mean, the sound is definitely jazz, but it flirts with hip-hop, soul, sometimes reggae, mambo and latin jazz, bossa nova, drum n' bass, house, trip-hop, etc. The feel of it all is sexy, VERY SEXY, trippy, atmospheric, RETRO COOL music that immediately sends you to a 60's smoky martini bar. The tuxedo-wearing waiter is coming straight at you with another glass (and you can happily see the two olives in it).

The majestic use of trumpets and sax, the talented drummer (and drum programming), the dreamy electronic sounds coming from the multiple keybords, the perfectly-timed scratchings, the sexy, hip vocals, and the impressive production of this album makes this, and any other De-Phazz album for that matter, a one-in-a-million gem.

You want hip, sexy, retro cool downtempo nu-jazz? Look no further, you will love this one.

Highly recommended new album from DePhazz. I just hope they get better exposure to the U.S. audience by way of radio/video play rather than anemic automobile commercials. They have so much more to offer.

This is my favorite album!!To listen with friends...great for cocktails,it is like an oldfashion-futurist album.....sweet and strong....very special sound...BEAUTIFUL!!!!UNIQUE!!!!STYLISH!!!!
