Making easy listening lounge music sound cool again

Product Description

Comprised of master crate-digger Joel Martin and rising dance-music star Matt Edwards (aka Radio Slave), Quiet Village make the old sound new and vice versa. Influenced by Italian film soundtracks, BBC library music, disco edits, acid rock, vintage soul and easy listening, they combine the most unlikely elements- bluesy guitar, chamber strings, air-raid sirens, shuffling breakbeats, even flutes and seagull cries--into an hour-long reverie with in soft focus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something new needed? Grab this one, July 8, 2008

By	Hee Chul Kwon "directorgod" (Ca, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Do you really want to hear something new?

Refreshing and new are two words that I can describe about this album.
It might be a house music but mixed with orchestra so does feel more like human.

If I should describe visually about their music, it should be 4D.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the album to get., November 21, 2008

By	Brian Shreckengost - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What makes a great album?...Quiet Village makes that statement true the very first song you hear. They transcend the vision between trance and house music to the songs your parents only wish you would listen to. What an album!...The songs seem to streamline the difference between what makes an album great. The best albums leave you with the feeling that the album itself is filled with compilations from the best works of individual artists. This one is no different. Enjoy!

Great music, some is flat out chill, other tracks are more upbeat with great sampling of all kinds of sounds.
