Home of Rock: June 2003 CD Review: The Adventures of Elliott Finésse Joachim Domrath Link to original
Davon kšnnen viele ein Lied singen. So manches Hobby geht echt ins Geld. Sei es Golf, Segeln oder einfach nur das tŠgliche Bodytraining bei Muscle Mike um die Ecke. Profitieren davon tut aber nur der jeweils Hobbytreibende. Drei Jahre brauchten sie um ihr neuestes Hobby-Projekt namens "The Adventures of Elliot FinŽsse" auf die Gehšrgange der Musikfans loszulassen. Freunde gut trainierter Ohren werden beim Lauschen der zehn Tracks so manches Mal in
VerzŸcken geraten. Hier sind sieben Musikprofis mit Herz & Kšnnen bei der Sache. Von ganze anderer Machart ist anschlie§end Nation Of Strangers. Ein wahrhaft
konzertant dargebotenes Folkrock Schmankerl mit bestechenden akustischen Gitarren und
gediegenem E-Gitarren Solo. Bei diesem Song dŸrften YES Freunde aufhorchen. Doch Sky King fegt den letzten Folkrock Akkord sofort aus den Boxen. Ein weiteres instrumentales Kunstwerk. Selten habe ich in letzter Zeit ein derma§en dynamisches BlŠser-Arrangement gehšrt. Die Horn Section blŠst wie ein Hurrikan. Gewissen Passagen erinnern mich an die kongenialen Brass-Rocker von Bill Chase. Susie schaltet einige Minuten spŠter einen Gang zurŸck. STEELY DAN meets THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION. Der Grundrhythmus hat fast schon einen leichten Reggae-Touch. Mann, macht das Lied Spa§! Gesanglich wird wieder was Feines geboten. Das alles wird mit einem gekonnt vertracktem Schlagzeug gewŸrzt. Obwohl Mr. Trips mit dem Satz beginnt: "A Deadhead lives on the second floor", ist dieser Song sicherlich nicht der gro§en Deadhead Gemeinde gewidmet. Es geht thematisch um die Vietnam Aufarbeitung. Das alles recht dramatisch und trotzdem wieder locker aus dem Handgelenk gespielt. Zum Abschlu§ gibt es noch eine Liveversion von Y2K2. Die Studioversion war auf ihrem VorgŠngeralbum "Short Stories" (siehe Review) erstmalig erschienen. "The Adventures of Elliot FinŽsse" ist musikalisch noch eine Steigerung ihrer
ersten CD "Short Stories". Alle 10 Tracks bersten vor MusikalitŠt und witzigen EinfŠllen. Dazu verfŸgen die sieben Bandmitglieder Ÿber ein hohes instrumentales Kšnnen. Das Zusammen ergibt einen tollen und stimmigen Mix aus Rock, Soul, Jazz, Folk und Pop. Der Klang dieser, im HDCD Verfahren aufgenommenen, CD ist ebenfalls erstklassig. Das gilt auch fŸr die gesamte Produktion. Wie hei§t es so schšn: IT'S A MUST HAVE! Extremely rough translation using babelfish.com ... Therefrom many of a song can sing. So many a hobby goes really in it money. Let it be gulf, sail or simply only the daily Bodytraining in Muscle Mike around the corner. Profit does therefrom however only that respectively hobby drive. Not so in CAREY ZIEGLER'S IT EXPENSIVE HOBBY. What it and its volumes week for week in the hobby room drive serves is not only its passion of musical, but rather also for the music fans of large interest. Three years needed to release it around its newest hobby project by the name of THE ADVENTURES OF ELLIOTT REFINEMENT on the ear gears of the music fans. The cover reminds a few of CHEVY CHASE and its film THE MEMOIRS OF AT INVISIBLE ONE. With film music, that has very however now generally nothing to do. Friends of well trained ears will run in the listening of the ten Tracks so many a time in Verzuecken. Here are seven music pros with heart ability in the thing. Immediately after the instrumental, Schmankerl THE RIDE warm up shows the volumes on TWO BELOW NEW YORK its entire ability. A fat groovender Soulrocker with Jazztouch. Voice marked CAREY ZIEGLER'S IT and the crazy Blaesersaetze make appetite for more. Its professional STEELY SERVED can singed deny atmosphere this to no time. The choir passages are simple class. In the following SOMETHING IS sounds WRING the organ opening as well as a newer singed of NICE. Yet the impression becomes after 10 seconds of the knackigen Blaesern formal way bubble. SOMETHING's IT WRING is to be incorporated at least musically more under ALL IS RIGHT. In spite of all complex Breaks and most difficult arrangements, that remains singed always leichtfueBig and beschwingt. That everything sounds mix SERVED how an out of STEELY and CITY BOY. Of entire of other style, NATION OF STRANGERS is subsequently. A konzertant genuine offered Folkrock Schmankerl with bribing acoustic guitars and solid E guitar solo. With this might singed YES friends aufhorchen. Yet SKY KING sweeps the last Folkrock accord immediately out of the boxes. A further instrumental work of art. Rarely I belonged a to such an extent dynamic Blaeser arrangement in last time. The horn Section blows like a Hurrikan. Consciences passage remind me of the congenial BrassRocker of BILL CHASE. A Highlight on a CD truly not poor at highpoints. The guitar phrases speak also for itself. SUSIE shifts some minutes later a gear. STEELY SERVED meets THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION. The reason rhythm has almost already an easy REAGGAE Touch. One makes the song joke. Gesanglich becomes again what offered fine. That everything is can spiced vertracktem percussion with one. SERVED' T RUN WAY lets sound it after that again prettily folkrockig. In best JACKSON BROWN and JAMES TAYLOR manner the pretty dear song delights the ears. Although MR begins: TRIPS with the sentence: A Deadhead live on the second floor" this is not singed dedicated certainly the large Deadhead community. It concerns thematic the Vietnam reconditioning. That of all quite dramatically and nevertheless again loosely out of the wrist played. Who always already wanted to know IT like a session between the MOTHER'S OF INVENTION and 10 CC sounds, should sharpen its ears in RACCOON THEORY. That is hochintelligente and partially very complex pop music that is presented by the volume with incredibly much humor. To the termination, there is one live version of Y2K2. The studio version was SHORTEN on its predecessor album STORIES (sh. Review heard appeared) for the first time. That is singed a hardness test for each musician. What is offered here in 4 minutes at Breaks and crazy song enclosures, passes in STATUS QUO for 10 albums (should now no devaluation the volume be). And that brings over the volumes live with a precision and Lockerheit, that one the ears tears. THE ADVENTURES of ELLIOTT REFINEMENT is SHORTEN musically another increase of its first CD STORIES. All 10 Tracks burst before Musikalitaet and witty ideas. In addition the seven volume members control a high instrumental ability. That together yields a crazy and stimmigen mix out of skirt, Soul, jazz, Folk and chirped. The sound of this CD received in the HDCD procedure is also first-class. That applies also to the total production. How it is named so prettily. IT IT A MUST HAVE. |
