Atomic Swing - Bossanova Swap Meet 1997 Japan (Live)

[Burqua12]

I like Atomic Swing but there seems to be something missing in the sound of this clip. Maybe it's the fact that the bass is hardly hearable, maybe it's the fact that the drums sound "shallow", maybe it's the guitar tuning not being 100% ok, or maybe it's something else.

Nice pop rock music, but it is not bossa nova.

[HommaHieno]

They really have their own unique style and sound.

[HunterMann]

This is not bossa nova.

[Flubbman97]

Idiot.

[HunterMann]

@Flubbman97 Idiot? I have 300 bossa nova LPs and have toured with 4 bossa nova acts. I know what bossa nova is, and this band's song is not bossa nova. It's more like rocked mixed with a few measures of exotica(the xylophone part...wow!). Atomic Swing is good & original, the only problem is that the good parts aren't original and the original parts aren't good.

[Flubbman97]

@HunterMann Sorry for the harsh word, but you take it way too literally if you expect this to actually be bossa nova. It's just the name of the song, I'm certain it had nothing to do with the music in it.

[HunterMann]

@Flubbman97 What;s the matter with taking it too literally? Try searching for song titles on you tube that have the word tango, calypso, cha-cha, swing, mambo, etc. You'll hear that most sounded like that type of music. The big exception is the misuse of the term jazz. Some call smooth jazz "jazz" but most of is not jazz at all.

@HunterMann You're a class A twat..This is a fabulous,inventive pop song-great chord changes..Beautiful,quirky n distinct,,,What you meant to say is 'i have no taste'..

[HunterMann]

@ScenesFromPalacio Fabulous? Perhaps you should expand your ears... Inventive? Not much originality to this music. Great chord changes? The same chord progression has been used in at least 50 pop songs in the past decade. Quirky? I agree, but the so is the average "inventive" pop song. Your comment has been deleted.

[ScenesFromPalacio]

@HunterMann Which '50' songs ? Name 1...

Atomic Swing, what a wonderful, different refreshing sound you are!! I loved your music without knowing the name of your group, belive it or not. I'm so glad I know who you are now. Just fabulous sound!!!

Hello, Sheldon66.

Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure but I think it was not made "Stuck On A Worn Out Rhyme" clip. From the 2nd album they made clips of "Bossanova Swap Meet" and "So In Need Of A Change". I've got "So In Need Of A Change" clip, but unfortunately it's not recorded from the beginning perfectly... but I'll up it here if you like.

Now they are together again! Don't you know? Search it!

[Sheldon66]

Thanks for this post! Great to see. I am curious if you have a clip of "Stuck On A Worn Out Rhyme"?

I got into these guys while living in Japan. They are good band, too band no longer together.
