Not a Nicola Conte recording

"I enjoy the work of Nicola Conte very much, and purchased this CD because Amazon listed it as being by Nicola Conte. However after listening to the disk, it does not sound like any of the other Nicola Conte recordings that I own, such as Jet Sounds, Bossa Per Due, or Other Directions. In fact Nicola Conte's name does not appear in the list of musicians, the composer, arranger, producer, or anywhere in the credits. So unless the name Marc Beacco is an alias for Nicola Conte, then it would seem to me that this is not a Nicola Conte recording, and that the listing in Amazon is incorrect. There is nothing on this recording that is in the cool, jazzy, lounge, bossa nova style that I associate with Nicola Conte. In summary, I am very disappointed with this purchase."

"Like another reviewer states this is NOT anything close to the Conte we know and love. I dont know why his name is listed on the credits because he is nowhere on this record which sounds like an Italian Bobby McFeren? of "Dont Worry be Happy" fame ,He sings with his own brand of "Mouth Music".Not my cup of tea. One highlight of this record is one song with the lovely treated trumpet of Mr. Jon Hassell !!! who played with Brian Eno way back when, how on earth he wound up on this record I dont know. Hassell did one Italian soundtrack record called "Sulla Strada" which took me years to find before the Internet.Maybe they met in Italy somehow. Anyhoo those of you expecting the Brillian Ital style of Bossa that Conte has given us for over a decade will be disappointed here. WAH !!!"
