Sortie : 2009The ideas simple, get a eclectic bunch of unknown (mostly) indie artists together and record an album of Townes van Zandt songs, we’ve already had one van Zandt tribute recording this year from the great Earle senior, which I blogged about back in March.

Do we need another one ? Absolutely and this one is coming at it from a different angle, does it work – in a word yes. Why? Well the power of Townes writing tends to transcend most music and in this instance the covers are not half bad either.
The packaging for the CD is great too, the accompanying booklet giving plenty of information on the unknowns encouraging the buyer to go do some research, unknown of course is a relative term and there are of course some recognisable artists on the CD, here’s the full tracklist.

Sortie : 2009Découvert lors de l’enregistrement de l’émission télévisé de Manu Katché « One Shot Not », votre serviteur a de suite été enthousiasmé par l’univers sombre et mélancolique de Yodelice. Ce nouveau projet s’inscrit dans une démarche globale aussi bien musicale qu’environnementale et notamment visuelle avec la création d’un personnage lunaire, alter égo de son créateur Maxim Nucci, très proche des héros énigmatiques de Tim Burton.
Musicalement, Yodelice est un projet aux antipodes de ceux dans lesquels son fondateur avait l’habitude d’officier jusqu’ici. En effet, les principaux faits d’arme de ce dernier -outre un album solo et la bande originale du film « Alive »- sont d’avoir réalisé et produit les albums d’artistes montés de toutes pièces par la télé réalité (L5 et Jenifer).
Pour ce nouveau projet cathartique, Maxim Nucci est revenu aux fondamentaux et s’est éloigné de cet univers acidulé pour nous gratifier de dix titres pop folk épurés tantôt entraînants ("Emergency", "Cloud Nine") mais la plupart du temps, mélancoliques avec comme dénominateur commun, des mélodies toujours entêtantes magnifiquement orchestrées et arrangées. Et pour l’occasion, Maxime Nucci s’est adjoint les services d’Abraham Laboriel himself, formidable de sobriété derrière ses fûts, et de Sébastien GrandGambe au violoncelle.
A cet égard, le point d’orgue de cet album est sans conteste "The Other Side", pièce de plus de six minutes envoûtantes par l’entremise justement du violoncelle hypnotique de Sébastien Grandgambe qui vous prend aux tripes. Emotion qui atteint son paroxysme sur le final instrumental au piano « Shadow Boxing », titre mélancolique à souhait sur lequel les auditeurs les plus sensibles pourraient bien verser leur petite larme.
Au final, "Tree Of Life" est un album qui remporte tous les suffrages aussi bien du public, que des medias qu’ils soient indépendants comme Music Waves ou surtout des grands médias comme en témoignent la place accordée par ces derniers sur leurs ondes aux singles "Sunday With A Flu" et "Free"… Pour un coup d’essai, "Tree Of Life" est un coup de maître qui ne devrait pas rester sans suite si on se fie au succès de ce projet. Je désespérais de le voir un jour mais Yodelice a enfin réussi le pari impensable en France qui consiste à faire rimer qualité musicale et succès commercial !
Tracklist :
1 - Insanity
2 - Sunday with a Flu
3 - Free
4 - Alone
5 - The other side
6 - Cloud nine
7 - Emergency
8 - Noise
9 - Safe and Scared

Sortie : 2010I’m maybe a wee bit late in highlighting this EP, as it was in fact released in February (before this blog even existed), but it’s one of my favourite listens of the year so it’s better late than never. Kneel And You Will Lose is the second EP by Zefs Chasing Cara, a solo project that is inventive and complex in its inception, but a quite accessible piece of work.
<script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ aR_BgColor=""; aR_FgColor=""; aR_url=location.href; aR_title=document.title; aR_StarType ='3'; document.write('
The mainstay of the music is extremely tech guitar playing, but the complexity is not allowed to overtake the songs and instead fuels and caters for the progressive, rousing pieces. The make-up of the tracks could be compared to house music, with the layering of sounds, building of momentum, and the general crescendo that is reached, and the structure allows for music that would soundtrack many a great cinematic moment.
There Are two Timelines And In One I Would Regret Not Doing This and Hurtsz Kerb introduce the guitar stylings, some synth sounds and the dance dynamics, before the lo-fi mellow Bru Hit Him splits the EP well and sets up an ending which blew me away.
It rises and drops several times, with the vocals having a calming effect in the middle, until it can’t be held back any more and the dam breaks allowing the wave of frenetic guitar to burst through. It is really inspiring stuff and has such an impetus about it.
The final track Cracker Deelosay starts off with similar guitar stylings and more prominent vocals than previous tracks that are slightly unclear but have a definite rallying presence to them. The song then bursts into what feels like a remix, with synth sounds and voice box taking over proceedings, giving it an almost house music feel. The step up tops off what feels like a massive forward movement from the start of the EP.
This EP and its predecessor, I’m Gowing, are both available for free download.

En el álbum 'La Indecente' se pueden encontrar desde temas reggae hasta rumbas, flamenco y tangos, pasando por el inigualable son cubano. Canciones de sexo, amor y otros menesteres son las que abundan en este disco lleno de ritmo y sobre todo de buen rollo.
Actualmente se encuentran preparando lo que será su próximo disco 'Rodando las calles' en el que prometen mantener su inconfundible fusión de estilos añadiendo toques funk, ska ó jazz. Gracias a la familia de Renombra2 por este disco (incluido arte + letras).

I love these types of DVDs. A few years back I saw a concert that was similar to this: "Friday Night In San Francisco" It was amazing live. This DVD brought back memories of the show and CD I bought. Of course this was a different line up, I saw Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola, and John McLaughin oh and a little known axe player at the time Steve Morse I guess it was more than a few years ago. Anyway I digress back to this lineup, great sound, all acoustic mic,and furiously fast. This frentic trio had me hypnotized from the opening salvo of guitar splendor. This lineup included Al Di Meola, Larry Coryell, and Bireli Lagrene. If you love Guitar fireworks at blazing speed, but always in key and in time you will love this accoustic masterpiece. They cover Coryell, Return to Forever, Chick Corea, and Astor Piazzolla tunes and a few Di Meola classics. Its short, sweet, blazing, hypnotic and totally worth the price. If you have any interest in classical guitar, or acoustic speedstering this the DVD for you. I wish more stuff like this were available.
