De-Phazz Album: “Daily Lama”

One of these things is JUST like the other!

If you like the retro-vocal melancholy, jazzy, cafeteria-style, insular-yet-panoramic, lush, smoky-lounge, orchestral, strange, ecstatic, DJ-scratchy, sublime, sampled and genre-bending compostions of Art of Noise, The Matthew Herbert Big Band, Enzso, Funki Porcini, Yello, Caleb's Cosmosis, Hugh Marsh, Future Sound of London, United Future Organization or Bowery Electric, then you will love this.

It gets 4/5 because their previous CD, "Death By Chocolate" is slightly better. Start there!

'NUFF SAID.

I'm really not one to write reviews, but I paid 24 usd for this item and it was very weak. The earlier stuff they did was pretty good, some electronic,some lounge, still others dub. This album is run of the mill hotel lounge music(but not a cool hotel, just an generic expensive one). I am a lounge/downtempo/house dj that has worked with this genre for close to ten years. This just didn't do anything for me. The song "Atomic Cocktail" is the only thing that remotely had any interest for me. One out of twenty tracks is not a good cd.

Just discovered De Phazz and have purchased all their CD's. Music is an interesting mix of instrumental, amazing voices, somewhat jazz, electric, motown..Absolutely amazing.

This is one of the best CDs I have bought in the last 2 years- Each single song is great. I highly recommend it.
