Editorial Reviews

Digi-Pak. Frenchman Chris Joss is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and autonomous studio producer. Having lived in London most of the 90's, Joss digested the vibrant music scenes of the city while working as a sound engineer and playing bass & guitar in bands. In 1996 he recorded his first album, The Man With a Suitcase, the soundtrack to an imaginary 60's TV series, a tribute to Lalo Schifrin, John Barry, Quincy Jones and Laurie Johnson. In 2004 his third LP, You've Been Spiked, is thick with funky bass lines, wah-wah guitars, plus Rhodes and Hammond riffs pulsating over live rootsy drums, as a vibrant tribute to 60's and 70's dance music. Chris's music can be heard on TV shows, series, video games.Included in over 40 compilations. 13 tracks.

Jam on, baby!

The prior reviewer was right: if you love "the Chris Joss sound" you will absolutely love this set that's in the same vein as the good MAN WITH A SUITCASE and DR. RHYTHM sets, and the phenomenal YOU'VE BEEN SPIKED set.

Groove-a-licious to the nth degree, TO is not a masterpiece like YOU'VE BEEN SPIKED but deserves 5 stars because it represents the best of this hard-to-categorize genre (at least that I've yet heard). Further, it's easily the best thing out of ESL within the past 12 months. And the album graphics are nicely done, with a mildly psychedelic effect that perfectly fits the song titles and sounds.

Well done!

I love this CD! It has a retro lounge vibe with a wackiness that is very listenable. very up beat and fun. If you like Tipsy, Old DJ dimitri from Paris, Nicola Conte, and Janpanese pop(it has a similar 60's esthetic).I think you would love it. It makes me want to drink a cocktail and dance on a Saarinen coffee table.
