Amorfon
Walk With The Penguin : Steal a spoon for you (SERB/JAP,2007)****
The cooperation between Serbian Cinc and Japanese steel drum artist Yoshio Machida grew over the years, and they managed to play and record also in real time with each other. This direct cooperation (compositions by both entities) works better than ever before, and reached a new level. A bit of electronica fun to the acoustic sounds to a very alternative rock sound which keeps the acoustic sounds as foundations, gives a highly original, and pleasant sound formed from well arranged combinations of sounds and happy melodies. This goes from a Cocorosie kind of home made fun (on “Tom & Jerry”) to chamber like mini arrangements, to electropop. The fact that there is no real drummer, gives lots of attention to an increased number of gentle happy and positive sounds. Recommended ; for me this is the best Cinc related release so far.
Hearing the group’s result, I am glad that steel drum player Yoshio Machida insisted to continue with Cinc despite the fact that they live the other ends of the world ! It is as if they found here the best kind of musical partnership.
