The joy of a first release.... Out of nothing, nearly modest emerge the first tones, and i can imagine the smile it brings to the artist. Found this interesting stuff and blog thanks to the oitt review and wondered this one even didn't get a review... Jamendo is growing too big and you need ages to find interesting stuff. Glad i found this one, which is promising to continue following. Just woke up and this energetic and mellow stuff greatly filled the morningpeace. Nice builtup, variations and giving a glimpse of what may come out. Very interesting to explore the way to soulfull filling, an interesting way from reason to live....
Brilliant tracks reminding of the great '80's , the era that produced lots of superb neue welle, new wave singles. That great vinyl era... Here you get a great example of how beautiful synths and guitarplay and rhythms can be produced. Driving, pounding, darkish. Only problem i have with the vocals, i think its a pity he uses to much "talking" and is following the melodic lines too much, reminding of a more theatrical singing. But i guess thats my problem, being spoiled by Waits, Cave and Curtis. Let me adore the music, and thats great.
Mante is a great track, superb combination of the sweet tinklebells and profound melodic and rhythm- lines.Good track with nice feel. Also the ambient version i like very much, beautiful atmosphere. Gefeliciteerd and you're very welcom...
Nerdhappy?? hmm , some name.... ambient as tag? ok, lets listen..... The start isn't very promising, some nerd playing a riddle along with a rhythmbox.....
Someone ringing my door, after 2 minutes music still playing and sounding very interesting, so let it play... must say the music gets intriguing after 3 minutes, very nice, relaxing, taking you along, and bringing nice shifting, minimalistic variations that keep on the whole rest of the album. So happy nerd saved by the bell, and advise to survive the first 2 annoying minutes. Learned again not to browse too quickly. Question stays: why starting an album so uninteresting? or is that the migraine part? cured...
Great sleeve, great fun, idiotic combination of freak guitar, harpsichord, discobeat and serious proclamation that works very well. Greatly produced and arithmetically mixed together, delivering us a surprise that could be a hit in 1809 as well as 2009. Timeless crossover with a big smile.
No words left, simply the best pianoalbum on Jamendo.... just listen and enjoy this great wonder.....
Browsing a bit in the rich history i stumbled upon this release. It's a bit older work(2000), (nu)jazzy, very versatile tracks, with use of real instruments(great trumpet...), superb music for a sunny day like now, with possibility to relax. very fine mixing, moody tracks, that keep wondering what these guys are doing these days. The tracks are relatively short, and could in my opinion last much longer.
Very very nice singer/songwriter album, pure, honest, full emotion. Not being superproduced is one of its charms, Trying to Regret a classic that keeps sticking in your head. Nice nice.
What a surprising album.... starting as an emotional moviescore, followed by a superb track, seemingless adding a great voice, working to a megalomane climax with the great chorus,and back in the movie again, superb classic patterns shouldering against mahleresque pathos. A heavenly last track, making you aware you're able to feel real inner peace... jcw manages to fit a whole world into a few minutes, and leaves you outside again before you know, flabbergasted being confronted with so much condensed beauty... Hope this is no real adieux and more will follow. Stunning album....
Perfect description: Classical BreakBeat Dubstep.... Lo-Fi Style...
Here done in a very appealing way with enough variation and drive to keep interesting and not just letting the machine roll. The great wringing and wrenching rhythmpatterns make your shoulders move and relieve the rsi in yer neck whilst staring at the monitor. This walk ain't long enough, great album.
