Italian composer Margoo's first full-lenght CD (after his EP "Eh?") is a digipack-ed fifteen track work of love released on British/Dutch/Italian label WoT4 (don't ask, I still haven't figured it out myself...). Hard to file under anything specific, Margoo's sophisticated atmospheres deliver a finely woven melange of jazzy warmth, estranged pop culture, experimental dadaism and progressive lounge music (the chill factor is probably what sets this apart). What makes me a happy man (I know I'll be crucified for this) is that not once would I be able to pin this album on the map (geographically speaking that is), which to me is a plus considering much of Italy's music sucks (plenty of due exceptions of course, but usually you can still hear that "Italian" thing somewhere). Margoo's approach is as diverse and global as it gets and I would even go as far as too say that I'd lean towards the UK if I had to take a wild guess, maybe because of the fact that there's a nice Brit-style trumpet (made in Italy too, played by Giorgio Li Calzi) hovering over some of the most interesting pieces or maybe because of the Warp-style lounge-passages the record is filled with. Worthy of mention is the fact that the title track is based exclusively on samples of the artist's squeaky kitchen door. Why am I thinking about Studio Pagol again? oh yes... might just be logo on the CD, but then again, maybe there's more to that... Other Italian references that might help you here could be Margoo's label-mates Deadburger or the great Vittore Baroni's collage project Le Forbici di Manitu'.
