Combustible Edison was an American neo-lounge music group founded in the early 1990s in Providence, Rhode Island. They were was one of several lounge acts that led a brief resurgence of interest in the genre during the mid-1990s.Unlike other bands with a more ironic take on the lounge scene, Combustible Edison took the music seriously and strove to add to what its members saw as a canon of works by Esquivel, Henry Mancini and Martin Denny. Said Trouser Press, "As the band that poured the first shot in the Cocktail Revolution, this Boston-area combo brought lounge music into the '90s—or, more accurately, transported tastemakers back to the suburbia of the '50s—with strikingly authentic interpretations of some of the most unauthentic sounds known to mankind."…to be continued… - wiki

Agreed ! This one is a guaranteed winner. Quickly followed by the slightly similar second release (Schizophonic!) followed by their (close to being a masterpiece) third release "The Impossible World". We recently lost later-member and Major Domo DJ, Brother Cleve; rest in musical Bali Hai cloudland...
