A M A Z I N G !

:D

Didn't know this.

I saw the info on their post on YouTube and they say:

Koop is Oscar Simonsson & Magnus Zingmark.
When listening to Koops music it's somehow easy to believe that it's played by a small orchestra, but in fact the music is based on samples. Thousands of small clips from records puzzled together into new songs. All the drums, strings, horn sections and choires are actually sampled! This is a very time consuming way to make music (it's one of the reasons it takes such long time to make a koop album), but it's the only way to create the surreal Koop sound. One thing though, that for sure aren't sampled, is the vocals. Many singers has blessed the Koop albums with their talent, and on Koop Islands the singers are : Ane Brun, Yukimi Nagano, Hilde Louise Asbjornsen, Rob Gallagher and Mikael Sundin. Koop Island Blues is sung by Ane Brun and is taken from the album "Koop Islands". JF Julian directed the video in Paris. Starring french actor Mia Jacob.

i have to tell you that when you posted the above comment about how they sample the music it made me so happy because i kept hearing snippets from songs especially Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass and i thought i was losing it :D

Mars :-]

I don't know the artists you mentioned (maybe you can show us someday) but some parts sounded to me a bit like Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" ?... :-|
