Saint Germain si stilul chill out

Cred ca toti avem un gen de muzica pe care o putem asculta in fundal cand avem treaba, care sa ne imprime un anume 'ritm' interior cand invatam (valabil pt studenti si nu numai:) ), cand suntem ocupati, dar vrem in acelasi timp sa avem o stare de bine. Poate ca unii nu suporta muzica atunci cand studiaza sau se ocupa de anumite lucruri, dar sa
facem abstactie de acestia.
Pentru mine, muzica de background este chill-out-ul, sau un fel de infuzie de jazz, chill-out, techno, dub, funk si groove, al carei reprezentant de marca este, pt mine, albumul de debut, numit Tourist, al grupului francez Saint Germain. Albumul este exceptional, cel putin pentru iubitorii genului, si chiar daca nu sunteti obisnuiti cu acest gen hibrid, dar sarmant, s-ar putea sa aveti o surpriza si sa deveniti un fan veritabil. Melodiile , in numar de noua, sunt atent selectionate si mixate, au stil, eleganta si clasa. Iti poti crea propriul lounge bar la tine acasa. Ajunge doar sa pui cateva melodii Saint Germain si, din primul minut, 'you're in the mood'
Piesele mele preferate sunt 'Sure Thing' si 'Pont des Arts'
Tourist s-a bucurat de un mare succes, vanzand peste 200 000 de albume. membrii trupei sunt Ludovic Navarre (Conductor) / Pascal Ohse (trumpet) / Edouard Labor ( Saxophone-Flute) / Alexandre Destrez (keyboards) / Idrissa Diop (Talkin' Drum) / Carneiro (Percussions) / Claudio (Cacao) De Qeiroz (Baryton) / Ernest Ranglin (guitarist)

Iata si un extras dintr-o recenzie la acest albun ( una din zecile de recenzii), pe care am citit-o pe net:

DJ Ludovic Navarre borrows the name St. Germain from an 18th-century entertainer who performed for French ruler Louis XV. Navarre was a pioneer of the French Touch, the electronic genre that includes bands such as Daft Punk.

The music itself is a mix of jazz, r&b, techno and house, heavily reminiscent of Moby. Rose Rouge" is the first track of the album and one of only two vocal tracks. The vocals bring one back to the era of classical jazz and are actually sampled from Marlena Shaw's Live at Montreux. "So Flute" features amazing flute work by Edouard Labor, set to a strong catchy rhythm.

The sound quality of the album is outstanding. The recording captures much of their live performance. "So Flute," an exercise in exuberant flute playing and supported with steel drums, is portrayed well on the album. I could clearly hear the unique sound of the metal drums as well as the exquisite detail of Labor's flute work.
