Atmosphere

Atmosphere – “Jazz Funk from Luxembourg 1981–1986” (Editions de Lux, EdL001) is a small nation revelation: a limited, remastered compilation rescuing private press grooves from obscurity. Cut to a 300 copy LP with insert and download, the set cherry picks from two albums and a 7"—all near unfindable outside Luxembourg—serving rotary room instrumentals with fusion bite, string synth sparkle and tight rhythm section interplay. Think Euro library funk meeting post Weather Report finesse; tracks like “Little Elephant,” “Rotation” and “Valcam” will light up modern jazz sets and Balearic bags alike. A sleeper essential for collectors of European jazz funk and a beautifully presented archival job from Editions de Lux.
