The vibe of the millennium is the sounds of space age pop adaptations of the bossa nova, the mambo and the hot cha-cha. All around the globe its hypnotic bongo beating chill-out rhythms are what flows from the desk at tiki bars. Now Marcus Magellan enters the nu-space age bachelor pad genre with rhythms that will transport you directly to the Holiday Inn Ipanema Beach.
Musically bred in the birthplace of bossa nova Brazil, then relocating to guitar/rock USA, Marcus eventually grew tired of the stale confines of the rock/pop outfit and moved his creative energies to electronic music. Finding more freedom and self-expression through the pursuit of the so-called "non-cool non-hip", tracks like "Bachelor Pad Pavilion" and "Space Age Transit Authority" drop into the exixting lounge scene with fresh flourishes and a broad aesthetic. "Universe" which partially recalls the Moog-y heyday of the late 60's, was chosen to inaugurate Keyboard Magazine's "Unsigned Artist of the Month" feature.
