'Intimate Heaven', is an 11 track, Jazz(y)-Lounge album.

In my opinion the Quality that distinguishes this Jazz(y) Album from its Peers on Jamendo is the Prominent Use of Vocals; whether it is a Single Singer or Singer with Backup or Male/Female. The Collection Expresses itself with Equal Emphasis on Vocalizations and Instruments.

The Jazz Style is a Mixture of Smooth Jazz with a subtle Bluesy Variety One might hear in a Memphis or New Orleans Supper Club or Lounge. Contributing to this is Observation is the heavy use of Electric Piano/Guitar/Bass and the Sultry, Female, Dop Wop, Vocal heard in Track #3. 'Angie's Gift'.

Saxophone is almost a Prerequisite Jazz Instrument due to its Ubiquitous Presence is most Jazz Works and this Album is No Exception. Listen for it along with other Common Lounge Band Instruments.

Vocals, range from Male Lead Ballads to rather Fun-Hip Hop Style Boy Band Chorus--Track #6. 'Here We Are', which Ironcially, is NOT Jazzy but Island Beat Party-esque Pop.

Overall, a Surprising Mix of Jazz(y)-Lounge-Pop styles in a Album that Feels like Tuning in to Afternoon Radio Broadcast from Yesteryear.

This is great stuff. I would love to jam with you guys. I'm not smart enough to play jazz.

OK... Ya'll are very tight and sound like you're having fun. I would go see this band on a Sunday afternoon at some lucky venue!

Blue monk 2 is a great song. I wish I could play piano like this! Nice Bass lead! Drummer is spot on. You must have worked hard to balance the instruments this well.
I ‘d like to hear more.

Delicious. Great atmosphere. A very interesting arrangement and combination of instruments. Sweet guitar.

I don't know. It's weird.
Of course, there are those awesome vibes, the amazing fusion of lovely 8 bit sounds and catchy electro/guitar melodies; but there is more.
There is what those tracks say. They are talking to you; it begins with their names and it goes on with their notes, with blending those retro, electro and real instruments sounds. Sometimes, it's kinda depressing (PURE COINCIDENCE), then it becomes scary (GONE TOO SOON) or it's just some unaltered joy (PIXEL MY HEART), ... All those things, to me, are telling a story. A story which takes shape in your mind.

A really great album. Maybe an achievement. LukHash just deserves wads of cash.

Cool chilled out grooves...with some surprises. I especially like "Inside Dub."

hi,
mmh, wow? well this album is extremely unfriendly to the ears.
it is a nice try, though. there is a lot of effort in every tune.
this music is not for the masses.

My favorite track in this album is number two, "Simple One." The syncopation and the blending of the horn and the piano compel attention--and the ending of the song is wonderful. jthart

I listened to this little album earlier today and was so impressed, with that first song. . . at the warm tones of the acoustic guitar, embroidered with the wings of sympathetic strings . . I didn't want to end my day without saying a word or two about this lovely jazzy album.

These pieces are so expressive, so emotional and rich like melting gold . . like that transitory gold of warm sunshine and comforting breezes . . . you wish you could hang on to that feeling forever . . .

"Waltz for Cathy" . . less acoustic than "Looking West," but no less dreamy, . . .. is a loving, mellow piece, full of ambling melodies and a tightly echoing guitar, eloquent and vitally dynamic, punctuated by a reflective percussion.

Those first two pieces were sweetly sentimental whereas the last piece, "Halfway to somewhere" gave the listener wings of optimism and a tropical island somewhere out of the range of storms . . . a very nice piece indeed, sunny and bright and as warm as the other two . .

Having listened to this album several times . . . I must say that I enjoyed it immensely and I think it shows the fine talent of this musician . .
