I don't think I told you what a great CD "Times of Television" is. It is definitely getting heavy rotation in my cd player. Great cruising music and I'm always getting asked what I'm listening to when I'm playing this CD.
"Times Of Televison": KOWA at its BEST !! Just love it ! The first track "Imagination" is an invitation. And what can be nicer than to get invited by the artist with "Hello! Welcome .... to the world of imagination ..... (especially with such a voice ;-) )", because that's what music is all about. "African Moments" und "Zulu Dance" for example: After listening to the Track "Maanie Dreams" with its mystical voice arrangement you switch to the next channel, which takes you away to Africa. In the beginning you hear the sounds of nature. Listening to the tracks I had images of African deserts and countless pictures of the African wildlife in my head. The guitar solo at the End of "Zulu Dance" is one of those solos, why I love KOWA's music so much. It's simply incredible. Switching to the next channel you reach the track "Mystery of Nature", which takes you to the sea. It's so beautiful. Especially the acoustic guitar at the end of the song I love very much. Paloma" is a little bit melancholic but positive. The perfect song for a long drive home, when your thoughts start to stroll around. "Romantic Warrior" confirms, that you have to be an emotional und creative artist to be able to let a guitar sounds like that. WIN KOWA is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. He plays full of passion, creativity and emotion. You can hear it in every note, that he doesn't only play the guitar, he lives it. What could I say about "Body Glow" ?! Listen to it ! This track is pure erotic and everybody who doesn't see it like that must be deaf or dead ;-). "Bluerhythmics" is my favourite. Definitiv!! All I can say about this song is: Play it as loud as possible !!!!! You're gonna love it ! I just love it. A big thank you to KOWA for this incredible album. I'm so glad that there are still musicans like you.
I have been a fan of Win & Jennifer since I first heard their debut CD Discovery Drive on the Radio. The musicianship is outstanding and the grooves are guaranteed to keep your head nodding. Jen's Bass and vocals combined with Win's keys and blistering guitar work set the mood for every emotion. I have never met them but I consider them friends. I highly recommend that if you have never heard their music before, you are definitely missing out on a feast for your ears. Their new CD Gemini has been a staple in my CD player over the past few weeks and now I find myself looking forward to their next release which can't come soon enough! Take care and God speed in all your endeavors.
Kowa remember us, that there is more in music than computer programming. You can hear and feel that here are musicans with heart and soul who still know how to play instruments and create interesting voice arrangements. Powerfull guitar solos .... goose pimples garanteed ! Just sit back and listen, you won't regret it.
