Comment: the Dutchman Ludo
Maas is back again with his brand new album, similarly to his
previous ones the 12-track outing straddles on an interface of guitar
jangles and twitches, crispy electronic beats and variegated
keyboards for creating melodies and blossoming orchestrations and
implementing cute harmonies at low and high-ends of the breathing
sonic spectrum. Sometimes the soundscape is imbued with spoken word
spans, one of them poignantly reflecting upon the problem of the
overpopulation of cities and in overall all around the world that is
the biggest problem of nowadays of not only defending Earth and other
species but also the very ethical stance to live as responsible
human beings. It is at least partly inflicted by the fact the people
used to live like pigs their snouts deeply stuck in the mud by
taking no profound incantation about outer space and not perceiving seamless, imperative connection between this small yet important
locus and tremendous cosmic village called Universe (it is much
bigger than one same titled movie company could be resulted in its
all possibilities I dare to say). How could we influence the course?
On the base of the so-called democratic elections? No way, it is
hijacked by the union of the politicians and businessmen for a
century at least (they cannot be reversed from talking about GDP and economic growth) so to influence Earth and one's health for good could only be
done on the grass root level, the smaller society/community is the
better it is. At the final instance everybody's personal decisions
make up the greatest impact. Otherwise the natural vengeance will be taken on
us. Ludo Maas is celebrating with this decent (fourth) album his 20th
anniversary as a musician, as a modest dweller by having been
perfecting his ennobling trace (other projects: Legion of Spunky
(with Mike "Stikewang" Steelman) and Background Radiation
(with Tim Dwyer)).
