"Carlo Cordara of Italy produces a CD that is smooth as a dry martini. The crisp orchestrations, wah-wah guitar, spacy flute, horns, and lounge piano combine to make sounds that will refresh your ears. Funky, amazingly hip, and never out of place as you sit in your own imaginary film with a soundtrack to die for. Track 3 "Search" is your walk down Eighth Avenue in your side-vented black suit...a hip detective on the lookout for the enemy, briefcase in hand. Track 11 "Jet Society" is your first class seat on the ultrahip 737 with cigarette and cocktail in hand. A song that reminds you of a more innocent time when you could still call them stewardesses. If you like lounge music or Italian soundtracks, this is a CD not to miss. It is perfect for a cocktail party or a drive up the coast in a convertable (something I have done many times with this CD playing)."
