Advantages: Any Mood - Anywhere - Anytime Sounds. Fantastic.

Disadvantages: None - maybe too good for 1st release !??

Previous reviewer Mauri said it all for me ! The Barry White comparison is bang on. I was on a week long holiday in San Vito Lo Capo, N.W Sicily and heard this sound over two nights, in 'Gna Sara' - a fantastic restaurant, just off the main drag in SVLC. It caught my ear and imagination, immediately. I got the Mario Biondi name from the restaurant staff (really cool gang) . Both nights, mixed with a heady brew of excellent localfood, wine and hospitality, it was a transportation to bliss. This is listen-glad-to-be-alive-think-dance-kiss & more music' - rolled into one !!! Amazing. I came home and was surprised and thrilled to be able to find & download his 2006 debut 'Handful of Soul', without problem. I am listening to it continuously for over a week. Mauri is right. The variety and richness of voice, sound and music choice is a real strength of this release. Boredom & familiarity is almost impossible. I listen / buy all sorts of music, but especially jazz / latin. This is top notch. If you are alive - BUY IT. No hesitation ! Mario, bring out another one. Quickly !!

Summary: If you are alive - BUY IT, now !!
