Designs In Music

Chilled out grooves and a retro soundtrack kind of feeling. Most tracks have guitar, bass, percussion and keyboards. Mostly instrumental with a few vocals here and there. Easily lounge or casino music. Reminds me of Henry Mancini and Ennio Morricone. Many songs are perfect for a night show, while some would be great for afternoon driving or a pool party. A bit on the cheesy side. This guys produced a couple of records for Los Straightjackets and this is evident here.
