But, in fact, they rely solely on samples, a process that often takes months to complete. Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson first began making music together in the mid-1990s after meeting in Uppsala, Sweden. After a move to Stockholm in 1997, the duo released their debut album, <i>Sons Of Koop</i>. In 2002, their second album, <i>Waltz For Koop</i>, catapulted them into the forefront of the "nu-jazz" scene. The group subsequently released <i>Koop Islands</i> in 2007, an album that transported its listeners back to the dinner jazz sound of the 1930s and '40s. - Jamie SanchezAcid Jazzen720Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:42:34 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.41574&rws=%2Fkoop%2Fdiscography.rss Swedish electronic duo Koop create flowing and romantic music that is so dense and layered it sounds like a full orchestra of session players.
