Editorial Reviews
Italian DJ/producer Nicola Conte's loungey brand of acid jazz relies extensively on bossa nova, but is also heavily influenced by the swinging soundtracks of Italian films in the '60s and '70s, plus touches of ethnic music and easy listening kitsch reminiscent of Japan's Pizzicato Five and the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack. Great stuff! 2000 release. Import only.

In this reimagined version of his 2000 import release, Jet Sounds (released in America as Bossa Per Due), Italian producer-jazzman Nicola Conte has found some impressive help in remixing his lounge-flavored electronica. Taking time out from sipping their cocktails are Thievery Corporation, Koop, and the Finnish collective Nuspirit Helsinki, who perform a deeply sensual, eight-minute version of the title track. Also making notable appearances are Japan's Kyoto Jazz Massive, who kick the beat up more than a notch on their ambient-tinged version of "The In Samba." Elsewhere, Conte himself contributes three new tracks, including the Latin-flavored tinkle jazz of "Love Me 'till Sunday," as well as the sly, soundtracklike "Tema in Hi-Fi." Using its fine cast of musicians and producers to full effect, Revisited explores the more acoustic, less beat-driven underbelly of Conte's songs, finding an elegant, carefree sound for a new generation of hepcats. --Matthew CookeAlbum Description

Ms Nicola Conte, I presume?.......2006-10-02
It might have been thought hard to better Mr. Conte's Bossa per Due, but here the ante is upped and the results are some extraordinary remixes. Check out particularly great takes on Tema In Hi-Fi by Nicola himself along with Gianluca Petrella; Jet Sounds by Nuspirit Helsinki; and an extraordinary new version of the In Samba by Kyoto Jazz Massive.
Warmly recommended. And, sorry Nicola, but if your parents will give you a girl's name

Interesting........2006-03-17
the seminal cocktail culture composer.......2004-07-05
Recorded in Rome in 1960, The Sound of Speed may seem relatively syrupy in our current culture of hyper-frenetic bass beats and pulse-pounding urban rhythms, but this music hails from a totally different context and era: The Space Age, when rest and relaxation were as much a part of our perceived future as electronically enhanced convenience. While Bob Thompson was at the peak of his powers, a lifestyle of luxury was promised for all, from the stay-at-home mom to the working stiff to the corporate climber. The soothing, stirring orchestration on this collection conveys both inspiration and intoxication. Each track is devoted to a different mode of transportation, most incorporating (or "sampling") the actual mechanical sounds of the object in musical question.
The soaring rhapsody of "Star Fire" (Jet Plane) and the bouncy lushness of "Early-Bird Whirly-Bird" (Helicopter) have been heard before on lounge compilations, but the rest of the dozen tunes here will be beautiful new music to the lucky listener's ears. From the continental coolness of "La Vespa" (Motor Scooter) to the dreamy drama of "Sub-Manhattan Blues" (Subway Train) to the aquatic aural atmosphere of "Sea-Spray" (Speed Boats) to the cosmic blast of "Count Down" (Missile), Bob Thompson will take you for one wild, wondrous ride. The destination for each traveler is the same: the sanctuary of your own sonically soused soul.
Along with the original cover and liner notes, the CD package also includes excerpts from an interview yours truly did with Bob for the Fall 2002 issue of ATOMIC Magazine, in which he humbly acknowledges the resurgence of interest in his music with bemused appreciation. Here's to you, Mr. Thompson: cheers, and thanks for the bright, shiny, brand new musical memories. The 21st Century welcomes you!

The new jazz sound from Italy.......2003-04-15

Set the standard... from the past.......2002-10-27
I really enjoyed this CD. You can pop it in and listen to it, and be taken away on a journey - it's a terrific soundtrack through the 60's and 70's, bossa Italia and, of course, bossa nova. Instantly, an image is brought into your head from track one. The feel of the music is from that era - and very much so martini/lounge style. But otherwise - it's easy beach music too.
Nicola Conte plays a big role with the Schema label - which features Soulstance and also the Break & Bossa series to name a few. The style is pretty consistent and if you like Conte's style, I'd recommend checking out Schema label artists and the series listed before.
Since this release, Conte has gone on to do a number of remixes and works: Montefiori Cocktail, Maxwell Implosion, Mo Horizons, and even the late Suba have all had some of their best tracks redone by Conte. And what will make fans more enthusiastic - a remix album was released and appears headed for US shores shortly. Also, a collaboration project which features Rosalia De Sousa (of Les Hommes/Break N Bossa/etc) will be released in early November.
A few other recommendations for fans of this: Sister Bossa 3 (almost a shameless rip-off of Bossa Per Deu can be found later in the cd), Easy Tempo, and maybe Brazilectro.

For the jet set...or your car stuck in traffic.......2001-03-31
You know how different countries have somewhat distinct sounds: Japan has the retro-futuristic sound typical of Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five, and even Holland's Arling & Cameron are signed in Japan because their sound is more Japanese than Dutch, France and Quebec excel at Tech House, UK does Garage House, and the US does whatever it does...the point is Italy has an accoustic retro-futuristic lounge sound kind of like P5 and the like, but less electronic sounding. Instead of blatantly electronically sampling the sounds of the 60's in Italy, it actually sounds like the 60's in Italy. Nicola Conte is a big DJ there, so his music reflects the regions musical preference.
Perfect for a patio & pool party, glamorous balcony in Manhattan, or on a rooftop deck in Venice. Hope this helps. It's great.

Jet Sounds Revisited
Nicola Conte Manufacturer: Schema ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B000066F8Y Release Date: 2002-09-30 |
Album Details
After Two Years We have "Jet Sounds Revisited", and the Circle is Complete! "Revisited" Manifests the Different Influences from Jazz of the 60's and 70's as Shown by the Different Producers and Musicians Involved. It Has a More Evident Use of Electronics that Widens the Picture Beyond Bossa and Reaches Club Rhythms: Nu-house, Broken Beats, Nu-jazz etc. One Should Definitely Take Note of the Common Approach Used by the Various Production Teams When Taking on the Work. They have Given Us Versions which Maintain the Original Mood of the Tracks Even in the Diversity of the Various Arrangements. You'll Get a Picture How a Remix Album Could Sounds as a Truly New Artist Output from the Sparse Jazz Dub Shades of the Thievery Corporation's Remake of "Bossa Per Due" to the Exquisite Vocal Performance on the Swinging "Arabesque" Version of Micatone Or the Future Samba Version of "The in Samba" by Kyoto Jazz Massive.

New Material
Jane Fontana Manufacturer: UNKNOWN ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B000JSRABK |
Product Description
No one truly knows for sure where the future of music is headed. Jane Fontana, however, is forging a new sound and style geared toward the 21st century. Imagine reading a comic book about this cyber-hero-super-chick, then watching her come to life, right off the pages before you! Shes a gorgeous, larger than life figure onstage and takes a no-holds-barred attitude when it comes to performing. Her singing style is animated, dead-on, and has such precision, she definitely has all the tools to become a real star. Jane Fontana performs near-punk futurism. She jumps and grinds, rails and coos inside a hyperdrive videogame of fat beats, chainsaw guitar, and samples, sliced and diced. The themes are despair and hope, sex and love, all with twistoflex intentions. It's as if the future is raw and weird, but somehow tight and even hummable. CREDITS: Not just a singer, Jane writes, produces, and sound designs instrumental electropop that is at times slinky and limber, and at others pumped and severe. Janes music can be heard in film and television, with credits including The 6th Day, starring Arnold Scharzennegger, Dawsons Creek, and MTVs Real World, Road Rules, Celebrity Undercover, and Tough Enough. Check out Janes latest film scoring work in 20th Century Foxs Farm Sluts, and listen for her in the upcoming season of TLCs Faking It.
