The
CD: O-Tunes The promotional CD entitled
“O-Tunes” came out in june 2005. It offers 4 original compositions and opens
out in a mostly optimistic atmosphere as well by the words as by the harmonies.
“Carry on” the first song contains all the ingredients to make a hit: simple
and nice chorus, rhythmic stanzas, ‘hammond’-solo at the end. At first, the disc appears charming,
musical and beautiful – but it is an album with varied sonorities and it brings
from there much more to whom takes the time to listen in the depths. This is
testified by the second song, a funk-ballade which far from being austere
succeeds in transmitting an almost metaphysical message of true comfort. The
third title, “Chessmen”, points the finger at the global players. It lives of a
surprisingly refreshing brass orchestration which is signed by no one less than
Gast Waltzing. The vivid trumpets create together with the rhythmic frame an
air of hip-hop-nujazz. The titles are connected without fault of style in order
to culminate on “No substitute for you”, a straight rock-song which without any doubt will make move the
concert halls, a song of a vitality containing a great “live” potential. It is
an old friend, Marc Reichling, who agreed to lend his talent and to record
a grooving motown bass on 3 of the 4 songs.
