I’d love to try drinking something like champagne or wine while listening to music like this.

By the way, Viktor Lazlo debuted when I was in high school, and I used to listen to her a lot back then.

This is truly stylish Western music for grown-ups.

Its exhilarating feel is remarkable, as if it transports you to a resort on the South of France without leaving your seat.
