Inspired and insipid
Italian Secret Service's cover of Giovanni Tommaso's "Via Beato Angelico" caught me completely by surprise as an inspired updating of one of my all time favorite Italian jazz tracks. I rushed out to buy the rest of the songs and must say I am disappointed. From track to track, the sound is too similar and I generally move to something else before I finish the collection. Listen to the samples and buy a handful of tracks (esp. VBA) and you won't be disappointed.
