Saint Germain is an acid jazz band which I have just recently discovered. Seems like they've been around for some time, and their repertoire is vast. I have to admin, I'm really enjoying this band! I have two albums, Tourist and Boulevard. Anyone who likes acid Jazz should pick them up.
What I've found is that there's a lot of complexity in their music to be heard if you look for it, but if you just let it sink in it's a fun band to listen to superficially too. Subconsciously you will hear all sorts of wonderful undertones. Their tempo is compelling but not so much so that your attention is drawn from whatever you're doing; I find it music that I can draw inspiration from during my work while not being pulled away from my work and not being bored with the music.
So there you go. A little musical review.
