Il primo album, "Searching For a Bit Of Popularity", pubblicato per la HammondBeat Records di Portland (USA), era stato concepito per la sonorizzazione di una ipotetica colonna sonora, che vedeva 2 fotografi in erba, alla ricerca di scovare qualche scoop nel luccicante mondo dello Star-System, ed alcuni brani tratti da questo album, sono stati usati dalla Stags Film di Chicago (USA), per la soundtrack di "Sex Galaxy", uno Sci-Fi Movie, ispirato alla fantascienza ingenua degli anni '50. Il sound dell'album, era di conseguenza altalenante e toccava sonorità Nu Funk, Modern Jazz ed Exotica di gusto moderno ed attuale. "Studio Works", è il secondo album della Jet-Set Orchestra a "Bassa Fedeltà", e riprende l'ispirazione "OST", ma porta più in profondità il tema sonoro, catturando il sound Jazz / Rock che ha caratterizzato tra gli anni 60 e 70 le produzioni delle etichette specializzate europee come KPM, Conroy, Bruton e DeWolfe, solo per fare qualche nome. "Studio Works" quindi è un album di Library e Background Music che attraversa tutto lo spettro di tale musicalità: si parte dal Funky / Rock di Groovy Motion, passando per lo Smooth Jazz di Value For Money, continuando con The Project (volutamente diviso in 2 parti simmetriche) e The Amplifier, due episodi Funky dal break inconfondibile e molto marcato, l'Electro-Jazzy di Watts & Impedence, e concludendo con l'Hyp Rock di Pitch Control. ENG Low Fidelity Jet-Set Orchestra is the side project of Dave Masoch and Paolo ‘Apollo’ Negri, who already released an album as Modulo5 (‘Soundsational Movements’) for Irma in 2007. Their first album under this moniker, ‘Searching For a Bit Of Popularity’, was released by HammondBeat Records in Portland (USA) and some of the tracks were included in the soundtrack of the movie ‘Sex Galaxy’, produced by Stags Film in Chicago, inspired by 50’s naive sci-fi style. The sound of the album was on the Nu Funk, Modern Jazz and Exotica tip, but with a very fresh approach. ‘Studio Works’ is Low Fidelity Jet-Set Orchestra’s second album and continues on the soundtrack path set by the previous work, digging even deeper into that direction and capturing the typical Jazz/Rock sound of European labels of that period, like KPM, Conroy, Bruton and DeWolfe, just to name a few. ’Studio Works’ therefore could be easily filed in the ‘Library’ and ‘Background Music’ sections, covering all aspects of these genres: from the Funk/Rock of ‘Groovy Motion’, through the Smooth Jazz of ‘Value For Money’, on to ‘The Project’ (divided in two simmetrical parts) and ‘The Amplifier’, two Funky episodes with unmistakable breaks, to the Electro-Jazz of ‘Watts & Impedence’, to the Hyp Rock of ‘Pitch Control’. The album contains twelve tunes recorded with great musicians of international fame, hailing from Sweden, Germany, England and obviously Italy: Nickolas Ohlstrom, Basil Gilbert, Klaus Killik, Thomas Hawker and Carlo ‘Tonicapelli’ Marchi. A lot of importance was given to flute, trumpet, guitar, organ and synth solos, always matched by breaks and percussion, giving a sensation of ‘visual music’. The whole album was conceived to be a real live recording session and to give to the listener such a feeling, with a very little addition of electronic post-production. |
