Editorial Reviews :
Koop combines a wealth of summery melodies and floating vocals with the acid jazz of Gilles Peterson and the laid-back trip-hop aesthetic of Jazzanova and Peter Kruder. The result is a sweet, effortless sound on Waltz For Koop. Starting off with a Brazilian feel, Koop enlists Astrud Gilberto-like chanteuses Cecilia Stalin and Yukimi Nagano to augment the mood, while later, electronic trickster-legend Earl Zinger shows up for a decadent 'Modal Mile.' The record takes an otherworldly turn with the presence of Chicago folk-jazz artist Terry Callier, as his wistful, spiritual pipes give 'In a Heartbeat' a depth that eludes most DJs, who go for electronic lounge and end up with elevator music. Good-natured and accessible without being trendy, Waltz puts a lot of other 'chill' collections to shame.
Buyer Reviews :
I picked this CD up in the dance music section of our local music store and took a listen. I'm glad I did, because this would count as some of the best music I've ever heard. Reminiscent of lazy Sunday evenings, late-night lounges and sultry blondes, Koop blends elements of dance music, jazz, trip-hop, swing and downtempo into one delicious, happy blend. The music tempts this listener, like a beautiful, alluring and mysterious woman. Track no 1, waltz for Koop, has gorgeous Bjork-like vocals (Cecilia Stalin). Track no. 4, Summer Sun, features sultry vocals by the 15-year old Yukimi Nagano. Track no. 8 is another favorite, with an upbeat, yet distinctive house flavor, and great vocals. To those with a loved one, this would make an excellent companion to romantic evenings. To those without, you'd wish you did. The one complaint I have about this CD is that it is too short! Like all good music, Koop is for keeps.
