Title: unimaginative and repititious
Product review: What a grave disappointment this release was, and unfortunately fairly typical of the genre. This guy takes a simple one or two chord progression and beats it to death throughout the duration of the song, relying on mechanical sounding noises coming from samplers and sequencers to pull it off, and to no avail. The styles of Bossa Nova and Now Sound calls for one to have a good ear for inventive chord progressions when composing them, and for some degree of chops to make them work, neither of which Mr. Conte has been endowed with evidently. If you want Bossa, check out the biggies like Jobim or Astrud Gilberto...if you want Now Sound then check out Peter Thomas or the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack...or check out Arling and Cameron's Music From Imaginary Films if you need current day grooviness, as it's worth the ride. There's just no emotion or warmth to this recording...now go get the Real Thing!!!
