Elegance...

"This is one of the most elegants musical works ever by a nearly unknown band: The magnificents De-Phazz.
The vocals are always sweet and smooth. Sometimes, the interpretations are sensual. The vibes are slow, kind of "chillout" mood. There are some trully inspired and magical moments such as the sensuality of "Jazz Music", "April Shower" and the superb "Time Slips", the pure pleasure of "Zero Zero" and "Happiness", the drum'n'bass/bossa nova/jazz of the sublime "Havana Moon"(maybe the best tune of "Godsdog"), or the musical landscape of "Anchorless".
"Godsdog" is a very refined "cocktail" of sounds, vibes and inspired musical taste. Even if you're not a fan of electronic music, you should trully like this superb record. Don't miss this vibes, this elegance..."

Interesting Album

"I'll probably add this one to my "chillout - artists" list. This is a very nice CD which I thoroughly enjoyed. I really heard of De-PHazz from different compilations, from Brazilectro volume 1 that kicked off with a nice remix of The Mambo Craze to Hotel Costes. After those two, I figured I'd take a stab at getting this album and I wasn't disappointed. The album sort of goes on, melodically, and has some very interesting musical arrangements and samples. The style is hard to express, but I'd label it more along the lines of Cafe/Lounge. Imagine going to a nice bar, having a chat with someone and this would be playign in the background really. It's upbeat and sweet - some horns, smooth vocals, strings and percussion. Good music!So I'd recommend it. If you like the Hotel Costes scene (Estage 3 especially), you'll enjoy this one... or if you like the Boss-A-Troniq Vol II, you'll probably like this too. Notable tracks I got into were "Happiness" and of course, "Jazz Music". Pick it up!"

Simply great music!

"If you want to chill out and listen to some innovative music this is it. They remind me of the smooth works of Antonio Carlos Jobim, the Father of Bossa Nova. The same sensual waves and juxtapositioning of unsual ryhthms. From smooth trip-hop, soul, jazz and boss nova this album has it all. If you are jaded with the current music scene give this album a try. It is refreshing."
