From Here to There
(2003, Naïve) London.
Here is a Belgian group that I appreciate for the (apparent) simplicity of their compositions and the very fresh sound that gives you an irresistible desire to go on holidays …
Short Song for a Short Mind is probably my favorite song with its big bass line and its balanced harmony.
Found in the Ground with delicacy, is a well-put-together song with its harmonies that give some sweetness to this refreshing track.
The amazing Flavor starts with a bass line, minimalist in the first minute , then it rises slowly (beautiful vocals). Unexpected arrival of the beatbox then the big sound at 2’27”. Such a great song !
Organeum has a very nice intro voice / piano which is slowly flowing to a surprising final at 3’41 ‘. This song is atmospheric and captivating.
I chose The Ship On The Sea in the top 5 for the quality of its composition, a song in which we find ourselves “in the clouds” and that is vocally subtle (very great mix.)
A beautiful album that I like to listen over and over …
