.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: Instead of accepting lucrative offers to perform in :
: Las Vegas, a crooner from the old school prefers to :
: work on his artistic ambitions in old Europe. :
: This story sounds unbelievable and so does the music :
: of Martin Dean and his colleagues: psychedelic touches :
: - live or per mouse click, seductive minimal grooves, :
: Latin American chill out, funk, jazz piano, :
: electronics, traces of Detroit rock ('Spacelord :
: Motherfucker') - you name it. :
: :
: Despite stylistic diversity, the original compositions :
: sound like a unified whole which is not lastly due to :
: Martin Dean's singing techniques. If you try to :
: describe the way he sings, you won't be able to avoid :
: recalling values and words which were thought to be :
: lost. :
: Spontaneously one would like to praise the :
: melodiousness of his voice or spin tales of well-oiled :
: vocal cords. For their fans Martin Dean and his :
: musicians (YoYo Roehm, bass; Jochen Arbeit, guitar and :
: Stefan Creutzburg, guitar) aim to sweeten easy :
: listening with depth. This is what they playfully :
: accomplish with their work 'The Best of Martin Dean'. :
: :
: To properly prepare for the following music, simply :
: imagine that you are sitting in a red plush seat. It is :
: already well worn. Perhaps that's why it's your :
: favorite chair in your favorite club, a little bit of a :
: dive, a little bit of grandeur, illuminated by dimly :
: lit chandeliers, and right now on stage a few men in :
: creased suits are playing. Already having seen so many :
: fashions come and go, they for once simply want to look :
: for the essence, and that is not rock'n'roll and not :
: soul, that is not lounge funk and not club music, but :
: the heart muscle which pumps rock'n'roll, soul, lounge :
: funk and even to a certain degree club music full of :
: life, while not at all shying away from striving for :
: the soul. :
: :
: Yes, soul. That is really 'The Best of Martin Dean', :
: the title of the album, and that is why one lights :
: another cigarette in one's seat while thoughtfully :
: rocking one's glass so as not to show any emotions. :
: Because in such matters, composure is important, since :
: a treasure also wants to be guarded. If that were not :
: the case, then a Tev Falco would for example have to :
: play in stadiums and not Bruce Springsteen. But while :
: Tev Falco frequently performs with amateur musicians :
: (which definitely also has its charm), Martin Dean :
: works with a band which knows how to play everything :
: with the necessary cool. Alexander Hacke played some of :
: the guitars; Thomas Wydler drummed on several tracks; :
: there are beautiful violin parts, great organs, and :
: some of the moods invoked recall records from Crime & :
: The City Solution or Nick Cave. But for Martin Dean it :
: is not about saving a struggling Catholicism. It's more :
: of an existential cool, like Doris Day sung her 'Que :
: sera'. :
: :
: But sometimes one does encounter the demons of the :
: night, which don't entirely let themselves be driven :
: away. A latent psychotic tension. It is also at work :
: here, driving the music. A predilection for elegant :
: clothing is not at all meant to hide the dirt under the :
: fingernails. :
: :
: Of course, exceptionally well liked is the faithful :
: rendition of Eric Burdon's guitar riff from 'San :
: Franciscan Nights' in the song 'That's for sure'. That :
: shows respect and also that one can only look ahead, :
: because one stands on other people's shoulders. The :
: album looks ahead and back (but purists will perhaps :
: first have to get used to some of the electronic :
: sounds). And the sensuous 'Me Gusta'with its flickering :
: organ is definitely bound to be the summer hit. A small :
: one at least. :
: For your little treasure chest. :
