combustible edison

combustible edison was a group founded in the early 1990s in providence , rhode island , and was one of several lounge music acts that led a brief resurgence of interest in the genre during the mid-1990s .
unlike other bands with a more ironic take on the lounge scene , combustible edison took the music seriously and strove to add to what its members saw as a canon of works , such as those by esquivel , henry mancini , and martin denny .
