Bobby Hughes Combination
Nhu Golden Era
Stereo Deluxe
Norwegian DJ Espen Horne, under his assumed Bobby Hughes
Combination identity, drops a lounged-out romp updated
for the 21st century with this follow up to the group’s
first release, Fusa Riot. Nhu Golden Era conjures
vivid images of low-slung couches, bright colors, and
martinis without leaving the microchip era out in the
cold. An ultra-hip Scandinavian jazz vibe, paired with
a subtle line of samba, rolls through the entire album,
which features both the beautiful vocals of Nhu, as
well as some deep, innovative melodic touches (flutes,
harps…everything you’d need to set the mood off just
right). Only seeming to slip when the bpm’s get over
84 (“MC Arthurs Break”) the majority of the album remains
moody and beautiful, with "Olympic Girls” making
eerie ovations for your attention, and “Olive the Runner”
reminding you to straighten your lounge gear as you
tap your feet. Perhaps most confusing is that CDDB thinks
this is an R&B album…what’s up with that? - Derrell
