Rated 4/5
Review by scoundrel Feb 18, 2004

referencing Death By Chocolate, CD, Album, Dig, 013 470-2

Another swingin' album from Pit Baumgartner, who has definitely found his niche. The only problem is that the songs, while peppy, sound a little bit too much like one another. A jazzy trombone here, a soulful vocal there -- I'd like to see him develop his sound further, rather than staying in the same groove. Also, some of the lyrics can be less-than-profound. It's fine when it matches the mood of the song, like "Something Special," but how does it help "On-Line" or "Jim the Jinn"? This is still a good album, but I simply hoped it would be better.
