The Franco-American duo Dinner At The ThompsonÆs release
their first opus ôLifetime On Planet Earth". The smooth
and sensual grain of LucilleÆs voice mixes with FabliveÆs
productions, an eclectic concoction of acoustic soul,
jazz, electro-funk creations, and audacious break-beats. A
sound that leaves much to reflect on for the musically
adept, but most of all that blows you away with its
finesse and sincerity - definite chemistry ! The stories
Lucille tells through her lyrics, a blend of urban poetry
and existential reflections, comment on beginnings, on
endings, on life experienced ; a natural, warm voice that
will nourish the finest of gourmets. Colored with subtle
bits of sampling and live instrumental recordings, their
musical world is also inspired by the acoustics and rhythm
in Afro-beat. The album was conceived to give a warm
feeling, a rarity in todayÆs often over-produced-sounding
albums. Fablive brings rap, soul, and electro into real
time - fresh, delicate, and rough all at once. It isnÆt
surprising that ôLifetime On Planet Earth", after being
mixed in France, was mastered by Dave Cooley, the
craftsman of all the Stones Throw projects ! The purists
will be appreciativeàbut they wonÆt be the only ones ! All
the dance floor lovers will relate. And you can be sure
that theyÆll be getting down too ! / ôA show that is rare
today, fresh, surprisingà a live in crescendo that brings
us from jazz to funky-electro break-beats-thatÆs what
weÆre talking about ! Not to be missed. ö THE GOODTIMES
(C.A. Journal) / ö ItÆs been a long time since I heard an
album as original as this!à beats that make you want to
bounce, and a voice that makes you melt. ö PHARCYDE (Hip
Hop Group, L.A.) / ö IÆm digging this sound! We donÆt know
if itÆ programmed or playedà itÆ real groove ! ö LEE
FIELDS (Among the kings of funk)
