Vivaldi / Stumpf / Bahmann - Earthly Baroque - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vivaldi still dominates the picture of Venetian musical life, even though there were almost equal contemporaries there. Among them are currently hardly common names like Giorgio Gentili or Johann Friedrich Schreyvogel. Mensa Sonora gives the works of these composers a new on their recording and also an insight into the music culture of the Serenissima beyond the paths of the 'red priest'. Mensa Sonora, an early music ensemble founded in Deux-Sèvres by Jean Maillet, it's musical director for 25 years, set out to introduce the public to forgotten composers and their unknown or unpublished works. Since 2015, Gabriel Grosbard and Matthieu Boutineau, both from Niort and both musicians working in the biggest French ensembles, are the new artistic directors of this ensemble. Armed with the history of Mensa Sonora, which has been performing since 1989, and their experience gained, especially within the ensemble, they are keen to continue this research work, while continuing the task of bringing ancient to all audiences.

The new album offers introspectiveness with existential, dream-like vocals weaving into propulsive guitar riffs, textured synths, and a bold rhythm section.Inch - Canadian BeatsInchThe Brandy Alexanders debut with intoxicating melodic psych rock.Inch - Christian's Music MusingsInchMusic powered by Alex's guitar playing and enriched with Daniel's intoxicating synthesizer sounds. Pleasing and entertaining and in isolated places even with a clear penchant for funk and disco, as with the cracker 'Live By The Light', which is slightly reminiscent of Polyphia.Inch - BetreutesProggenSomewhere in the expanse between the Dark Side of The Moon and Abbey Road - Psychedelic Rock band, The Brandy Alexanders, take you to a parallel universe. Introspective, and almost existential lyrics are expressed via dream like vocals that weave themselves into a wall of propulsive guitar riffs, textured synths and a bold rhythm section. What started off as an EP, has grown into a 9 track album, via Gypsy Soul Records. The eponymous debut will take you on the space walk you have been saving up for since 1977. From the first guitar riff in album opener Ceiling Fan, Man, to the 6 minute epic album-closer Space Opus, each song included has an energy and orchestration that would impress fans of The Stones to Tame Impala. Justin Tessier of The Blue Stones writes InchThe Brandy Alexanders bring a refreshing, honest take to psych rock, and can back it all up live. Live By The Light is a song of the year candidate
