MEDEDELING !!
Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

| Omschrijving | After almost two years of collective isolation and
tossing around on your own, you could easily
forget
the creative power that can be unleashed when you
do things together.
The Hamburg producer and multi-instrumentalist
FINALLY GEORGE reminds us with his new album "Icy
Skies": the list of artistic accomplices is long,
and the result is a gift to all art rock fans.
George`s debut "Life Is A Killer" made the prog
and
art rock scene collectively sit up and take notice
in 2018. Eclipsed magazine selected the album
among
the top 5 of the hundred best albums of the year.
Reviewers used comparables from Pink Floyd to
Steven Wilson, bombast and emotionality were
praised as well as the sophisticated songwriting
and excellent production.
Even then, FINALLY GEORGE gathered an impressive
group of collaborators, above all Styx drummer
Todd
Sucherman, who is not only one of the best of his
craft, but also one of the few drummers who - as
Styx frontman Lawrence Gowan once described it -
have "deep musical knowledge and sensitivity".
Sucherman is also back on "Icy Skies". He
describes
his contribution to the album, which is quieter
and
has more melancholy than its predecessor:
"George`s
material is harmoniously and rhythmically very
rich,
a dream for every drummer," he says, "Every song
is
like its own little film, to say it with my
drummer
colleague Dave Mattacks."
With music this good, your only job is not to
break
it. "
FINALLY GEORGE corrects this very modest
assessment: "Todd doesn`t just play the tracks as
a
session musician might do. He gives an incredible
amount of input, suggests things and thinks about
things. Without him," Icy Skies "would be not what
it is. "
The same can be said for the other FINALLY GEORGE
collaborators: Violonist Anne de Wolff (BAP,
Calexico), trumpeter Ingolf Burkhardt (NDR Big
Band), keyboardists Detlef Bösche and Mathias
Pogoda (Inga Rumpf) and the much-booked background
singer Anja Bublitz. "It`s been extremely
rewarding
to work with all of these amazing musicians," says
George. "And I think you can hear this
concentrated
creative energy on the album."
The mix by Frank Reinke and the mastering
(Ludwig Maier / GKG) ensure that "Icy Skies" is
also an acoustic experience, and the artwork comes
from a creative person whose art has often left
traces in art rock and prog world: Hajo Müller,
who also became famous as the cover artist of
Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson and Blackfield. |
