2 Men 4 Soul - 2 Men 4 Soul (1996)

Italian acid jazz group 2 Men 4 Soul keep listeners guessing on their self-titled 1996 album for Irma, an album that was later released in 1999 remastered with bonus tracks. The group features more than "2 Men" -- the two men being Dany Losito and Claudio Moz-art Rispoli, the album's producers. Other contributors include vocalist Ben Volpeliére, guitarist Gianluca Mosole, vocalist Roberta O'Neill, rapper Master Freez, bassist Onorino Tiburzi, bassist Cico Cicognani, and trumpeter Marco Tamburini. Though most of the songs on this album feature vocals, there are a few instrumentals here and there to keep listeners guessing. You never really know where the group will go with each song.
