About this album

  • Updated: 20/01/2011

Qui était echo mike ? Un humain hors-sol, sans patrie ni terroir, se satisfaisant d'argent et de vanité...Il pouvait habiter n'importe où et passer la moitié de sa vie en avion pour rassasier ces deux démons.

C'était une sorte de caricature de l'éxilé fiscal, tellement fasciné par sa réussite matérielle qu'il ne pouvait imaginer qu'elle ne dépendait pas uniquement de lui.

Quand il a brûlé, il paraît qu'il na pas été très professionnel et il aurait même crié "à l'aide"...(la honte pour ses confrères).

Heureusement, tout le monde était assez occupé à sauver sa propre peau pour prendre le risque absurde et non rémunéré de mourir pour lui..

Credit spécial: "another kind of silicine sadness" est librement inspiré de la sonate au "clair de lune" de L. V. Beethoven.

==========================================================================

Who was echo mike? A human being aboveground  , without country or land, just loving big money and vanity ... He could live anywhere and spend half of his life in the sky to find that kind of food ...

In short, he was a french tax exile in Switzerland so imbued with his success that he could not imagine that he owed it to so many people ...

When he has burnt, it seems he has not been very professional and he even yelled " help " ...

Of course, everyone was pretty busy saving his own skin to take the absurd  risk of dying for another one.

Special credit: "another kind of silicone sadness" is freely insired by Beethoven's "Sonate au Clair de lune".

Agréable et plein de séduction, lisse en apparence, en réalité sarcastique et très logique avec son propos si l'on y regarde bien, l'album nous conte en musique l'histoire d'un homme imbu de lui-même qui meurt dans des circonstances atroces et dans l'indifférence générale parce que ceux qui l'entourent lui sont identiques. Une inquiétante folie rode constamment sous les descriptions de ce monde idéalisé aux rêves de silicones, comme si le vide intrinsèque des visions menaçaient à chaque instant de tout dévorer. Il y a à proprement dit, une perpétuelle schizophrénie dans cette écriture musicale, un double propos constant qui en magnifie le contenu et n'est pas sans parenté avec l'œuvre de "Pictures". Loin d'être gratuite, la progression des titres suit une logique très stricte, traçant sans complaisance la destinée d'un personnage sans morale, amoureux des artifices et rongé par sa vacuité, qui disparait et s'efface aussi facilement que les illusions qui peuplent son existence. Belle performance que cette musique à la fois élégante et grinçante, faussement enjouée et macabre qui réussit à sauvegarder les deux apparences jusqu'à la chute inéluctable de ce conte cruel.

This whole album and remarkable exquisite, compositions and sound qualities of soundscapes just encapsulates you, and takes you, on such a sublime and graceful, yet stimulating and bewitching,tapestries of insightful journeys. Into this composers thoughts, feelings and articulations of being able to truly tell you. About Echo Mike and his life, thoughts and feelings and interest and so much more besides. As you sit fascinated and compelled and intrigued and mesmerized by all. You are breathless and hypnotized by grace,calmness and ,piano, instrumental,movie like scores. That let your imagination explore and really feel what this guy felt, saw, touched and experienced in his life.It was poignant, respectful,meaningful and sincere.And beautiful done. I can not praise this enough

A superb... perhaps somewhat demanding musical tapestry.

I love music that captures and maintains my attention... the kind of music that grows on every listening and reveals more of itself, little by little at each time. Generally the first impression, is of some unsatisfactoriness, an almost kind of uncomfortable pleasantness sensation, with an intriguing twist that makes me want to get back for more. Often, tends to be also somewhat elaborate and on that account more demanding. And that's the beauty of it... as it keeps being very rewarding in time. This album is all of that, together with an excellent sound recording...
