It was after I heard (and liked) J.M. Band that I realized who were behind it, Luca Orioli and Romano Trevisani. The giveaway for me where actually the female vocals, which are the same as in another project of theirs, Sex Band. It's really no wonder how good this is, because the guys behind it are geniuses.

This tracks starts with some "Woo-Hah!" to get things going, then we're punched in the liver with beauty. A vocoder-sounding monkey? There's no point in talking about it; just listen.

There was actually a third guy involved in J.M. Band, but I have no idea who he is. He is a great man.

Here's a little overview of what the other guys have done:

It's kinda obvious that I love whatever Luca Orioli does, as I've posted so much of his stuff. He was a member of N.O.I.A. (my posts here and here), Gaznevada (my post), Gay Cat Park and their briiiiilliant 'I'm A Vocoder' (my post).

He was also a part of Local Boy, who released 'Thriller / Owner Of A Lonely Heart Medley', which is awesome.

Romano Trevisani played guitar and keyboard in a bunch of bands, and wrote, produced, arranged a whole bunch of brilliance. He was a part of Tabù D'Apache (my posts here and here), Cruisin' Gang's 'On The Beach' (my post), a bunch of Max Him releases including 'Japanese Girl', which is oh so lovely, Zeta's 'Eh-Ah-Oh' (which has a lovely bassline), and Flowchart, which was a boogie-ish Italo Disco band.

They've both done a bunch of other stuff, so if you like it, go and get it.

p.s. Sean Wolcott at Red Room posted Sex Band a while back. Check it.
