Album da Semana


SEQUEL - Sequel (Gusstaff Poland) [oiça aqui] Comentários:experimentalismo musical antagónico, é romântico, é moderno, é jazzístico, é electrónico; som descontruído e remontado numa linguagem poética vanguardista, faz lembrar por vezes Matthew Herbert ou então Krzysztof Komeda; Não confundir com a dupla sequel natural de zurique que editou para a sonar kollektiv no ano de 2004; Michal Jacaszek: Born in 1972 ! He started his music adventure from illustrating poetry. In 1998 he released two CDs with Waldemar Slefarski poems "Wiersze zmieszane" and young polish poets anthology "Rocznik dzwiekowy" .. In 2001 he recorded album with songs of Milka Malzahn , "MAPA". It was reviewed in the music press as a "trip hop singing poetry ". The album was released in 2003 (OFFMUSIC Rec). In 2003 a "LEM koncept" project came to daylight. It has a form of broadcast play, but performed live with an actor reading texts of Stanislaw Lem (RIP) and Jacaszek playing music. In 2004 Jacaszek released "Lo-Fi Stories " (GUSSTAFF REC.) He presented the album as a live performance all over Poland. In 2005 a second album with Milka Malzahn was released. (GUSSTAFF Rec). "SEQUEL" is a continuation of joining together modern electronic music and "singing poetry". It's an album of songs performed by poet Milka Malzahn. This is a kind of "singing poetry" where poetic text exists together with modern electronic music. Their first album "MAPA" was called a "poetic trip hop". "SEQUEL" could be named a "poetic electronic swing" , but this is of course too simple description. "SEQUEL" is a music story of lost, broken or unfinished love, of feelings, images, and dreams.. Milka sings beautifully in polish language of course, what gives a unique slavic atmoshere and is probably exotic for non-polish listeners. The album had very good reviews in polish press, sometimes it was compared with Matthew Herbert, sometimes with Krzysztof Komeda, and it's right: the songs have jazzy-influences, the sctructures are close to old polish jazz from 60's and even one lyric is about an episode from the movie "Knife In The Water"... Jacaszek has recorded it with a real band (double bass, guitar, drums, flute) and performs sometimes live with them and sometimes only with Milka... Matt Elliott (Third Eye Foundation): "The Sequel release is more evidence that electronic music need not be clinical or devoid of emotion, beautifully produced, revealing many styles of music all interwoven beautifully & concisely. Beautiful vocals which work perfectly with the music which at times sounds almost latin American & at other times Baltic & almost every style in between but without sounding contrived & all honed with the same delecate thread"
