This is a pleasant enough downtempo mix, featuring tracks licensed from Italy's Funky Juice imprint. Its origin is the most inherently Italian signifier here -- most of these cuts would settle nicely behind the cheesecake cover art and curvy, high style graphic design of any chillout mix on the better end of the spectrum. 'Better', but that's not synonymous with 'memorable'. Most of these comps, Lounge Italian Style included, plateau once they've established their pocket of groove. Here, that pocket includes some Italian and Spanish-language drop-ins, cut-up and burnished jazz and bossa nova rhythms, and the occasional influence of light trance. Again, nothing spectacular. But the beats are tidy and well done and live instrumentation like nylon string guitars, flutes, and trumpets helps. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
