The bossa style is so relaxing. Your mix of midi and realtracks are always high quality and I enjoyed all aspects of this... nice title too!

Brings to mind early 60s dinner parties, martinis and new HI FI systems.

Very nice! Looking at the track list makes us think you must have put a lot of work into this.
