Ah, well now I don't really know. I'm not much good at describing music. I do like it and it sounds sort of spacey and er, hmm, well now prose has let me down. I like it anyway.
:/

:( I can't describe it. Sort of loungey; jazzy. Sort of. *furrows brow in frustration* doesn't bleep have samples up?
And the vinly has less tracks than the CD and one of them is longer than the CD version. I, shamelessly, have both versions.

No it is electronic...but vintage synths etc. It's actually an awesome album...I too own it on both vinyl and CD (shamelessly), It's really nice, atmospheric easy listening. It is really hard to describe though.

i'm always reminded of classic james bond moments. it has that feel to it. the epic, almost funky chase-style music. sometimes.
i dunno. i like it.

yeah this thing is good stuff. i suppost it could be likened to maybe Vibert's Nuggets stuff, maybe. haven't heard to much of those. its supposed to be like reproducing library music w/ is old royalty free "cheap" synthesizer music to be for use in commercials, radio spots. 60s/70s feel of what was seen as future music of that time. thats what he means by spacey. sci-fi ish, w/ some latin mixed in. its just good - get it.
but be warned, the old Harmonic 33 album is almost nothing like it. Extraordinary People is pretty much hip hop, and i didn't like it that much.

Its an awesome album. Its kind of what half the ninja tune guys are always trying to do, but without the cheesiness.
It kind of reminds me of a really good record shopping day. Going out to the second hand store to get a couple jazz records, and after combing through the ten records that you buy, you find the one with the money song that makes the whole trip worthwhile. Well, this album is 16 money songs back to back.
It manages to authentically pull off the sound of those 50's and 60's big band orchestrations that bands like the cinematic orchestra can never seem to do well. And the combonation of the lush aural environments with contempory rap style beats and productions, make this an early contender for album of the year from me.
Funny, I wanted to post something about this album, but something had already been done.
Get it if you can. The cd has additional songs (the ones that couldn't fit onto the LP, methinks)
