Long deleted, few copies available. "This unique lounge compilation collects a series of tracks from the vaults of Vedette Records, an Italian label presided over by producer and lounge composer Armando Sciascia. The music they produced was released on compilations intended for music library use, but the music presented here is strong enough that it could have garnered a commercial release. These tracks mix rock, soul, and jazz together in a stylish manner that blends an easy listening sense of pop hooks with an experimental instrumental and sonic approach. Although Phase 6 Super Stereo is a lounge compilation, some of the tracks rock in a surprisingly heavy manner: Blue Phantom's "Diodo" is a blistering slab of psychedelic rock that layers slashing fuzz-guitar riffs over a thunderous drum beat and Green Future's punchy cover of "I'm a Man" mixes gritty saxophone and hard-hitting, disco-styled rhythms to entrancing effect. Other tracks pursue a softer but no less interesting style of lounge music: Peter Hamilton's "Desert Heat" highlights a jazzy saxophone lead against a percolating, organ-led backdrop and Cat Collins' "Le Grisbi" features the harmonica and electric guitar trading licks over a pop-jazz beat fleshed out with some otherworldly electric keyboards. Even the occasional standard that pops up manages to sound fresh thanks to the innovative approaches of the musicians: Puccio Roelen's take on "Caravan" has an exotic feel thanks to its mixture of electronically filtered keyboards and Latin-styled percussion and Bruno Battisti D'Amario's version of "Mas Que Nada" boasts an imaginative choral harmony arrangement."
