Acid Jazz is not only an American or British genre. Let's take a quick view to Germany. On the stereo deluxe label, which was founded in 1995, I found interesting artists like Jaffa and Mo' Horizons. Mo' Horizons is listed at Amazon.com under Trip-Hop. AMG describes this genre as followed:

"Yet another in a long line of plastic placeholders to attach itself to one arm or another of the U.K. post-acid house dance scene's rapidly mutating experimental underground, Trip-Hop was coined by the English music press in an attempt to characterize a new style of downtempo, jazz-, funk-, and soul-inflected experimental breakbeat music..."

Mo' Horizons however describe their music as an electro-bossa-brazil sound, which perfectly hits their style. Their sound is very close to that kind of music, I presented on the previous pages and some of the reviewers at Amazon.com legitimately compare the group with Theivery Corporation. 

Mo' Horizons are producers, musicians and DJ's Ralf Droesemeyer and Mark ‘Foh’ Wetzler. The debut album from Mo'Horizons "Come Touch The Sun " was released in July 1999. Further artists on this albums are Takunbo Akinro, Leila Pantel, Jezuz Nut (vocals), Mark Figge (keyboards, fluet, sax, percussion), Björn Teubner (bass), Wolfgang Meyer (acoustic bass), Uli Schröter (vibraphone), Michael Meyer (nylon guitar), Hans Wendt & Lars (horns). My special song is "Foto Viva" with the sexy French vocals of Takunbo Akinro. This song was also released as single and even became a radio hit.

Their second album called "Remember Tomorrow" was released at 03 sept 2001. The first tune "Cha Cha Cha" is a rising headbopper, especially for all friends of percussion. The shuffling sound of the following "Bosshannover" drives you crazy and in this way it goes and on. A great album, which is favorably compared with all already mentioned albums. The additional musicians are Leila Pantel, Marcia Bittencourt, Dan Mark, Benny Ochs (vocals), Mark Figge (percussions), Lutz "Hammond" Krajenski (organ & piano), Uli Schröter (vibraphone), Björn Teubner (bass), Jürgen Winkler (sitar), Hans Wendt (trombone) and Martin Hamey (trumpet).
