Have to agree--this is some great new-wave-jazz-lounge with a little bit
of a 4AD-esque punkness. Reminds me of a less pop-oriented Pizzicato 5,
or a jazzier Gentle People. Speaking of the Gentle People, there is some
great new lounge music being made, acid-lounge if your will, though
another frickin music label is the last thing we need. UFO's stuff has
always been on the lounge trip, and I'm still holding my breath to get a
listen to 3rd Perspective.

Can anyone think of or suggest some other 'acid jazz' type bands really
playing into that mod-suited, martini-drinkin' set?
