Eine offene und weite Landschaft. Die Sonne steht bereits tief. Ein Feuer vielleicht. Vier Männer sitzen auf der Erde. Richten ihren Blick verklärt gen Horizont. Eine Stimmung im Spannungsfeld zwischen Fernweh und Verwurzelung. Musik, die echt ist und ungeschönt, spürbar und leidenschaftlich. Das Nürnberger Quartett The Grand Paradiso ist mit seinem Longplayer „A Farewell To Oblivion“ ganz im Hier und Jetzt angekommen. Mit ihren ins Alternative-Fach verschobenen Countrypopsongs erweitern sie den Wirkungsgrad des Americana um brandheißen Aktualitätsbezug: Der Zungenschlag der Retromoderne trifft auf immerwährende Gültigkeiten des Pop und geht mit ihnen eine polygame Beziehung ein. Die Band hat hörbar Spaß an ihren, in mehrstimmigen Vokal-Passagen mäandernden, Pop-Perlen. Kein Wunder, dass man sich während des Hörens plötzlich auf dem Boden sitzend wieder findet, den Blick in die Ferne gerichtet und den Mund zu einem zufriedenen Grinsen verzogen.
A wide and open countryside. The sun is already setting. A campfire, maybe. Four men are sitting on the ground. Misty-eyed they are staring at the horizon. There's an undeniable longing for the faraway combined with a profound feeling of being deep-rooted. The music is genuine and unpretentious, you can literally feel the sound; it’s brimming with passion. The Nuremberg-based four-piece THE GRAND PARADISO has fully arrived in the here and now with their new longplayer “A Farewell to Oblivion”. With their alternative-tinged country pop they broaden the effectiveness of Americana with a red hot reference to actuality: the eloquence of the retromodern meets everlasting principles of pop and establishes a polygamous relationship between the two of them. The band truly enjoys performing their pop gems that meander through the history of honestly handcrafted music enriched with harmony vocals. Is it any wonder that when listening to them you suddenly find yourself sitting on the ground staring into the distance with a contended smile upon your face?
Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.
