Low Fidelity Jet Set Orchestra - "Bahia Soul" b/w "Jazz Rocker" (Hammond Beat cat. HB7-02 (Ltd to 250 copies)

There is an amazing BIG sound on this tiny little slab of diversity. Organ and Brazilian percussion dance around and over a controlled beat dispelling a groove that could relax the most up-tight among us. The organ gets to go for a ride about mid way and tackles some known styles and even cliches with such class and sophistication that the time allotted seems to drop you hard just as you began to loose yourself in the moment. I want to loop this and have tall drinks in my backyard and hope the neighbors are all away. "Jazz Rocker" comes out of the pocket like a lost Sound Library gem worthy of the great John Cameron. BIG BASS, DRUMS AND ORGAN pound, move, jump and connect to form one of the liveliest Organ tracks I have heard in a while. Horns and Fuzz Guitar only make the affair that much more enjoyable and extend the controlled chaos long enough to tingle the spine and break the drums again. There is a good amount of time after the break to build on the theme and really elevate the excitement. This is one great track and it shows what a band can do when they really push themselves. This will get lots of play.

Low Fidelity Jet Set Orchestra ‘Bahia soul' (Hammond beat). Low Fidelity Jet Set Orchestra is the alter ego of Italian duo Messrs Masoch and Negri found here doing a spot of moonlighting from their usual activities as Modulu 5. A killer debut release it has to be said featuring two mighty slabs of mind warping shape making intoxica, the florescent and hip hugging 'Bahia Soul' is a kookily decoded retro glazed babe festooned with sumptuously seductive day glo patterns made up of a rarefied cocktail that cross weaves elements of Henry Mancini with Lalo Schifrin and blends them superbly within a hot and horny head expanding trippy aura whose nu-jazz deep funk roots are lushly awash with a veritable 60's Latino dialect. Flip the disc for some cool cat psyche beat courtesy of 'jazz rocker'- a wickedly up tempo wig flipping slice of 60's groove featuring flighty Hammonds sizzling against backdrops of skewiff jazz funk rumbles - cool, exotic and insane - if wee didn't know better we'd have it filed under John Lurie with a red hot poker up his back passage.
