Strangely addictive

"I stumbled upon this album while browsing about on the iTunes store. I ended up downloading one of the tracks because it seemed catchy to me (Forgotten Places), and as it came up in some of my playlists, I realized that I really, really liked it... like, really.
So I went back to iTunes and grabbed two more tracks (Belle and L'amor Nunca Muere) and I feel the same way. The tunes are nice at first, and then you start to become a bit addicted. The mix of jazzy elements with some standard devices of the electronic world works well. Some of the selections have a hint of Portishead, but everything seems to be pretty original (I don't have a knowledge of this genre comprehensive enough to definitive claim on that one).
If you like things like Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, Portishead, Twerk and Soul Coughing, then I think you'd get a big kick out of this disc."
