Album Description On their self-titled Eighteenth Street Lounge debut, expect to hear cool bossas to cliff-top drives along the Amalfi Coast, full-on Pumping dance floor batucadas, and exotic Moog-meets-organ grooves that tap into images of lost party scenes. Embracing club and DJ culture, but playing instruments rather than records. 2002. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsReleased in the US - thank Thievery Corporation bordersj2 | Boston | 09/01/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Wow. Les Hommes have finally arrived on shore and it's thanks to the ESL label, that of Thievery Corporation, who did something similar with "Jet Sounds" by Nicola Conte and "Nothing Changes Under the Sun" with Blue States.I recommend picking up a compilation of their music before you get this release. Check out Boss-A-Troniq 2, or Break & Bossa Vol 5 to hear samples of what they are like. I only say that because their style is in fact jazzy, but it focuses on keyboards and organs - which may not be everyone's cup of team. I'd label their style in the jazz, lounge sort of area. Familiar will be Hommage, as heard on Break & Bossa vol 5, and Pousada Do Amor, as heard on Nueva Bossa NOva. you will not find "The Hand of Tenorio", as that is on their EP release Mood Is Modal. That said, this is a good release. Some of the tracks are too short, IMO, but for the most part this is pretty good. The inner booklet contains what are perhaps the inspiration for the tracks - you really do sense that from "Pousada Do Amor". Oh, and for the Break & Bossa vol 5 fans, the lovely voice is Rosalia De Souza. And... for the Schema label fans - Rosalia De Souza is releasing a feature album with Nicola Conte in November, 2002." ULTRA COOL GROOVES!!!!!!!! Darrell L. Lee | Jackson, MS | 10/17/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I got hip to this group on Water Music's "Jazz Lounge" with the funky "Intraspettro", next I heard them on Acid Lounge in Space with "In Spring"...Both outstanding tracks--Naturally, I had to get the CD. Of course, I had to order it online, and it took forever to get to me, but the wait was well worth it. Every track on LES HOMMES is a stand-out, ranging from styles of acid jazz to swing to bossa nova to funk and samba. Despite it's minimal duration of 45:17, LES HOMMES is a truly spectacular effort that brings to mind old spy movies, sleazy night clubs and high society cocktail parties. Full of live instrumentations and sultry, haunting female vocals, this one is sure to get several repeat plays with jazz and downtempo enthusiasts alike. Buy it, throw some shades on, jump into your convertible (or whatever you own), pop it in and see if you don't feel like some James Bond/Katherine Hepburn wanna-be!" Neo-bossa heaven J. A Corsi | philly | 08/11/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd is amazing. It brings to mind the sounds of the Exodus Quartet, which was pretty much the start of the new-bossa nova genre. It has a sound similar to the Murkatroyd trio and Theivery Corporation. A touch of Nicola Conte can be heard, even though he has nothing to do with this album. If you are into anything bossa nova, get this cd, you will not be disappointed."
