“Wake Up Sister” confirms my long held belief that the saxophone is the worlds most seductive instrument which, in this case, is gently played by Max The Sax. The pounding drum opening to “Let’s Roll” lifts you from the carefully induced dream sequence and delivers you into club hip-hopland whilst “Sunny Bunny Blues” holds you there.
The second CD includes some familiar offerings to anyone that is in or around the Austrian club scene. There are both the radio and club versions of “The Mojo Radio Gang”, another appearance of Max The Sax on “Silent Snow”, as well as the original version of “Monster.” “Ragtime Cat” provides another one of those curious mixtures of sepia and colour.
It sounds something of a cliché to describe an album as eagerly awaited but this was certainly the case with Coco. Having built quite a reputation across Europe Parov Stelar has delivered a generous set that will satisfy even the most thirsty of his fans.

Oh my gosh, I love Parov Stelar. I have barely stopped listening to him (them?) since I discvoered Shine last year. My favourtie songs on Coco are the last four on CD 2: Monster, Nosferatu, Starlight and The Mojo Radio Gang.
Nice review!
