Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

De Phazz are a Heidelberg-based combination of composers, arrangers, musicians and vocalists who play their own mixture of easy listening, cool jazz, Brazilian exotica--and even a splash of dancehall reggae when they feel like it. Death By Chocolate is actually a little less playful than their last album Godsdog. The humorous samples are still there but remain more in the background, while the foreground is taken up by quirky but lovable music and witty lyricism. The anchors of the project are producer Pit Baumgerter, songwriter Pat Appleton and composer Otto Engelhard, though the featured artists run to about 20 personnel and cover a wide variety of bizarre names and great instruments. There's a love of irony and irresistible, feel-good music throughout this album that keeps it buoyant and captivating throughout. And the range of sounds and moods is quite dazzling: gleeful, insouciant humour on "Something Special ("You' re So Special--Just Like Anybody Else" sings Appleton), subtle reggae licks on Nu Chic and Sabbatical, upbeat club thumps on "Better Now", downtempo jazz of the title track and overt bossa rhythms and French lyrics of Jeunesse Doreé. A little like being at a retro cocktail party, sipping on outrageously decorated drinks and indulging in flirtatious lounge chat, Death By Chocolate is certainly a good way to go. --Paul Sullivan

Album Description

2001 album for down-tempo/nu jazz act. The perfect accompaniment for laying out at the beach with a cocktail in one hand & a CD player in the other. 16 tracks including, 'Heartfixer', 'Nu Chic' & 'Sabbatical'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most significant discovery in years, Feb 26 2004

By	Roderic Simon Potter (Carp, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

De Phazz are simply the most exciting group I have heard in what seems like a lifetime. Theirs is music at its best, the kind that everyone at our parties asks "what IS this music, it is fabulous". Do yourself a favour - if you want music that is varied in style, 99% brilliant, 100% easy on the ears, and very, very smooth, buy this album. After that, I expect you will investigate their other offerings, "Godsdog" being of similar quailty.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nicely lounge music/jazz feel, May 21 2002

By	Justin Mclaughlin "Justin McL." (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The sound that De Phazz puts together here is not necessarily original. A lot of the tracks here are simply slightly better variations on that bossanova/jazz/soul sound that is getting increasingly popular and swamping car ads across the country. This stuff is the middle ground between downtempo and house, with a little swing music thrown in. When it's bad, it can be kind of annoying (check that ubiquitous Mr. Scruff tune "Get A Move On".....ugh!). Here it's not annoying, far from it. The first tune "Heartfixer" is a good variation on that style, even though I'm pretty sure I heard it on a commercial the other day. Oh well.

Much of the rest of the album is given over to warm soul tunes with good vocal work, sort of a warmer and more upbeat Zero 7. And better than those snoozers too! This album is only available on import on CD and on LP. I saw this on vinyl at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles, for any vinyl lovers in the L.A. area. Anyway, if this is your type of music, it's definitely one to check out. It's surprisingly good and not at all generic.
