Derivatives v1

by The Laconic

supported by

Carsten Pieper We all have favourite songs that the world didn't properly recognize, don't we? So The Laconic aka Marc Pelath is going to release his touchy-guitrar versions of such songs in the Derivatives series. The first combining mid-80s Genesis' The Brazilian with an instrumental number by the B-52s. Quite a choice ;-)

about

Derivatives is the name of a series of cover versions of instrumentals dear to the heart of The Laconic.

"The Brazilian" is from the album Invisible Touch (1986) by Genesis. "Follow Your Bliss" is from the album Cosmic Thing (1989) by The B-52s. Both are instrumentals, the last songs on their albums, and I always thought they deserved to be better known.

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts

Great musician. Knew him from King Crimson, but he is so an extraordinary musical globe-trotter. This, his first solo-album is also an incroyable piece of history. harry_pipco
