Review: Giorgio Lopez is a pianist and producer from Naples whose roots lie in funk, hip-hop and jazz, but who belatedly discovered club music in his 30s. 'Palinuro Phonebox' was, we're told, inspired by childhood holidays in southern Italy, and what you end up with are seven tracks that, collectively, sit somewhere between jazz-funk and Balearic/downtempo, with vague hints too of early house (see 'Miramare '89') and Detroit techno (see 'Camogli Rendez-Vous'). The drifty, dreamy title track is a particular highlight, while '50cc Getaway' will appeal to fans of Kraftwerk or Yello, but really this is an album that's best served whole - ideally with on a hot summer's day with liquid refreshment in hand...
