The music of drummer Patrick Forgas' octet is intriguing and sometimes a little difficult to classify. In ways it is reminiscent of some of the more adventurous fusion band projects of the 1970s, blending together the sound and power of rock with jazz improvisation yet in a scope that is a bit like a classical symphony. The four selections on Soleil 12, which includes the episodic 34-minute "Coup de Théâtre," keep one guessing but they generally progress and evolve logically. Most rewarding among the soloists are violinist Frédéric Norel and saxophonist Stanislas De Nussac (whose soprano playing on "Éclipse" is outstanding). Forgas' bass drum can be a bit overwhelming at times in the recording mix and there are times when one wishes the band could cut loose more from the arrangements, but overall this is an enjoyable set of Patrick Forgas' original music. ~ Scott Yanow

Monkey Business
Eric Herman and the Invisible B Monkey Business CD  (2005)

Soleil 12 songs
CD $17.09
The first CD by Eric Herman and the Invisible Band, The Kid in the Mirror, was described by many kids and parents as their favorite album of the genre, and it spawned several classic kids' songs including the ever-popular "There's a Monster in My House" and "The Elephant Song". A typical response was, "My kids loved it so much. Lots of great energy, humor, and (gasp!) artistry. It's like if Sgt. Pepper's was a kids album." (-Steven Stewart, Finland) The Kid in the Mirror quickly became the best-selling album of Eric's discography, which includes several CDs of varying genres (by the name Eric Endres) including contemporary rock, folk-acoustic, musical theatre, progressive rock and more. Clearly, he was on to something with his initial foray into the kids' music realm.

Producing a comparable follow-up to 'The Kid...' would seem difficult, and yet the new Eric Herman and the Invisible Band album, Monkey Business, not only equals but surpasses the expectations of the group's formidable debut release. Monkey Business one-ups The Kid in the Mirror with track after track of brilliant and accessible songwriting, high-quality production with energetic arrangements and performances, themes that resonate and resound with kids' sensibilities, and an overwhelming sense of humor and fun. There are 14 tracks in all, including the infectious ode to picking up toys, "In the Box", the hilarious pirate fable, "Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard", the wildly participatory exercise regimen of "Bounce and Flap and Twist", the tongue-twisting goofiness of "Ten Times Fast" and the sweet and poignant lullaby "The Hero of Your Dreams". Once again, Eric has teamed up with the renowned children's poetry author Kenn Nesbitt (poetry4kids ) to write the lyrics for several of the songs. Kenn even adds his considerable voice-acting talents on a few tracks, as the announcer for "The Math Game" and the "Prune Juice" commercial, the "sarge-ant" heard on "Ants in the Lunchroom" and the voice of Bluebeard in "Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard".

It has become something of a cliche in recent years for marketing children's music releases as "music for kids that parents will also like". Well, cliche or not, Monkey Business may be the ultimate example of that description, ...
