If you are a lover of astrud gilberto, nancy wilson, carmen mcrae, et al and all that was great about the music of the era those girls recorded in you will surely be pleasently rewarded by purchasing Koop Islands which falls somewhere between an hommage to that era and the recreation of a great musical genre for a new generation. Well done all and I eagrely await the groups next efforts. If there fame continues to grow maybe a venue for a concert can be arranged in the north of england too, as London is a bit far afield to see them perform their solitary gig in this country this tour.We in the north also appreciate the finer points of bossa nova and all things brazilian.Albeit via Sweden and Japan. More power to Koop and the delicious Yukimi Nagano. Music for a summers day, Aaaahh !!
