Il Meglio Di Domenico Modugno CD - Import

Broad taste? We haven't even mentioned Strawinsky or Justin Timberlake yet!Has there been an album of this stuff yet? 'Love it where I am' celebrated by a launch gig in the Winston in AmsterdamWait a minute! Wasn't that launch somewhere else?Er...um..yeah. They called every gig they did a CD launch. There were more gigs that way. How long was that infamous marathon gig they did in that cafe in Hoorn again?Six hours. They go like a train, they do. A train ? So not that fast really?Oh yeah, full-speed. But a Taxi to the ocean gig is a different bag of fish than just re-creating the album live. Charged-up would be the right word. Just ask the bass player who got stretchered away from a gig once with a dislocated knee after too much stage gymnastics. What happened next?Support spots with Millionaire, The Darkness and Mauro & the Grooms. A self-released album: Minglemood.

Just listen to it yourself and let the music do the convincing. Theme?Making choices. Because that's what they've been doing lately. The choice to make music and do everything around it needed to get that choice happening. Is it all or nothing '" this album?You bet. ‘Almost is nowhere' is the bands motto. Anything is better than ‘almost'. They'd rather take risks and end up face first in the dirt than play it safe. OK '" guess that explains the album cover then?Yep. The New York artist Steve Keene did that. He churns out paintings on a production line but it ain't production line work. Hundreds of paintings a day. The band begged him to do one for the album ...
