Flautist and arranger Lenny MacDowell takes his smooth, flute sounds
into the world of downtempo jazz and ambient lounge on Launch
Control.
This is a very easy record to listen to, yet it never seems trite or
cliche at any moment of the experience. Even the oft covered, covers
of Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine" and Gershwin's "Summer Time"
manage to sound fresh and engaging. Mac Dowell morphs with the times
and gets it right.
"Launch Control", is a pun in which phonetically the musical style of
"Lounge" music is associated to. "Launch Control" is however, even
more known in the Formula 1 car racing event. The greatly discussed
"Launch Control" is a so-called jump-start mechanism for F1 pilots,
which became quite famous in 2001 - controlled spinning tires during
the start or during the excelleration in the curves.
Lenny Mac Dowell and friends clearly took one musical road - groovy
beats together with jazzy and electronic elements. The flutes are the
focal point in the production, accompanied by drums, percussion,
keyboards, piano, organ, vibes, guitar and vocals.
The "Launch Control" concept has, besides the compositions of single
artists, also 3 world famous cover versions - "Ain't No Sunshine"
(Bill Withers), "Summertime" (Gershwin) and "Memphis Underground" -
a 70's instrumental hit with and from the New York flute player
Herbie Mann. Mac Dowell let Jazzamor produce and arrange the tracks
"Ain't No Sunshine" and "Summertime", due to their very own clear
transperant sound and interpretation of these 2 tracks.
"Memphis Underground" was arranged by the Jazz pianist Christoph
Spendel, giving it a slight jazzy and R&B touch, reminding of the
typical'St. Germain' style. Sound samples from voices recorded in the
subway and airports around the world were perfectly mixed into the
music, just like the soloistic performances on the production.

It seems that, as more and more artists release albums containing
more than one or no clearly definable music genre. We follow the
trend and release not only deephouse/house but also lo-fi, electronic
etc. rips from house related artists, soulful dance music even like
in our nfo stands.
Now we have included a subgenre line in our nfo. You can check (more
or less exactly) what genres/subgenres are represented in the rip.

If you're down with the deep house music, music with feeling..
music that makes you groove no matter where you are.. and you
keep the feeling real. .∙· d e e p h o u s e 2 0 0 3 ·∙.
