Title: Spaghetti Downtemo
Review: Milan's The Dining Rooms have sometimes drawn comparison to Thievery Corporation or Air. They are neither. Rather, one would have to imagine the music of Serge Gainsbourg cut up and reconstructed by DJ Shadow, playing as the soundtrack to a french new-wave film by Jean-LucGoddard. The brooding mood escapes typical electronica lounge clichés and enters darkerterritories, driven by mid-tempo hip-hop breaks and haunting minor chords bass lines.Occasional vocals, whether dialogue or sung melody, play as the nostalgic protagonists on an abandoned movie set. The production quality is tasteful and slick and leaves enough free space between the listeners ears,to let the film play in your head.
