Club des Belugas: Swop (2008)

Eagerly awaited 2008 album from Club des Belugas, the fourth overall. This beautifully produced CD comes packed with 16 stunning Jazz-flavored tracks including two bonus tracks: a re-mix by the multi talented Tape Five and a re-sing (which means different lyrics and different melody on the same musical playback) by London based cool school Jazz singer Iain Mackenzie. Also features musical appearances from Dean Bowman, Anna-Luca, Brenda Boykin, Reiner Winterschladen, Philipp Schug, Dirk Sengotta and others. Club Des Belugas have stepped up to the plate and pulled out another hit album similar to St‚phane Pompougnac's Hotel Costes, Jose Padilla's Man Ray, Claude Challe's Just Good Music and Saint Germain des Pres Cafe.
