5.0 out of 5 stars Superb jazzy beats

If the world' be a fair place, this record should be the most selled record ever. I love this blend of nu jazz and 60s samplers, wich are a perfect soundtrack for a summer day.

I suppose that "Golden Era" reference on the title is precisley a reference to this era, the 60s and 50s, the era of soundtracks made by Morricone, Umiliani, Piccioni, Schifrin, Hamlisch and so on, when you could hear shiny lounge music in the soundtrack of the movies instead of boring orchestral sounds.

Isn't supripising that a so coulourful record comes from a cold country like Norway? Anyway, absolutley recommended to those who loved Nicola Conte's Jet Sounds, Gerardo Frisina, S-Tone Inc, and all the lovely Schema stuff.

I'm not sure the originality, creativity, and brilliance of this artist and his
music can be topped. Espen Horne is a master.

5.0 out of 5 stars Infectious Instrumental Import worthy of your hard earned money.

Magnificent Mr Morgan became my favorite although its tough to keep a favorite on this album. I pre ordered this years ago and Bobby Hughes has remained a contender as a favorite. You can't vo wrong with this infectious blend of various styles of instrumental excellence. It is hard to get better than Bobby Hughes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bobby Hughes Combination - Nhu Golden Era
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2011
Bobby Hughes Combination (formerly the Bobby Hughes Experience) kick off their second album, NHU GOLDEN ERA, with a Vietnamese spoken word introduction that establishes the vibe to follow: jazzy and bright. "Clive, the Runner" whistles forth a swinging beat and a vocal that sticks it to you. The delicate vocals of "Nhu Beginin" give it a soft feel, but, as contrast, the scat in "MC Arthurs Break" lend themselves to a certain percussive urgency. Certainly, NHU GOLDEN ERA is much more upbeat than FUSA RIOT, because it approaches the music with a swing jazz feel, rather than funk. "Olympic Girls" has a samba rhythm and easygoing melody; "Nattergalen" adds a different timbre with some male vocals; and "Karin's Kerma" is the obvious crowd-pleaser of the album, jazzy downtempo at its best. The tracks are definitely all quality, though some stick out more than others. Particularly "Microneseren" with its banjo riff, double bass, and quick, high tones (plus a bonus track towards the end of its running time!).

5.0 out of 5 stars So who is this Bobby Hughes guy anyway?
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2005
Bobby Hughes is the alter ego of a Norwegian DJ who has himself kept a low profile (still in Norway, I believe) and let the music do the talking. The CDs are difficult to find and vinyl is even tougher - I guess they don't mass produce in Norway the way we Americans are used to. I haven't heard the first full album Fusa Riot (then Bobby Hughes Experience), but Nhu Golden Era was, to my shock and delight, available on iTunes.

The music is a combination of sampled groovy sounds from 60s and 70s Scandinavian jazz and performances from contemporary jazz musicians in Norway, kinda like what the more well-known St Germain (French DJ) does. But whereas the St Germain sound is more hard bop and a little bit of west coast, BH has more of a hip, mod feel to it - think Sean Connery's James Bond or the chanteuse Francoise Hardy.

Karins Kerma is a standout track with great female vocals that has been included on various nu-jazz/lounge compilations and mixes. Its inclusion as the lead track on the Electro Jazz Divas compilation led me to seek more of the mysterious Bobby Hughes. On Nhu Golden Era, Nhu Beginnin is similar to Karins Kerma with female vocals, except it's even more chill. Much of the rest is instrumental and possibly a bit repetitive in parts. But the album as a whole can serve as excellent background music for a cocktail lounge setting or a Sunday drive or just plain hanging out. Any guests are bound to ask what you're playing.

Finally, serve shaken, not stirred.

Beim ersten Anhören dachte ich "südamerikanisch oder aus der 'Kyoto Jazz Massive'-Ecke, die 60er in neuem Gewand mit ein bißchen Shirley Bassey oder Mark de Clive-Lowe". Im Booklets lese ich dann, dass das ganze aus Norwegen kommt. Und dass dies leider wohl das einzige Album von diesem Knaben ist.

Wer Nicola Conte mag, wird dieses Album haben müssen - und lieben lernen.

Very, very nice indeed.
