Album Of The Week ! at Beatportal: read interview "First Night Forever is a music that gets into you, rather than vice versa. It is music to be seduced by, rather than straightforwardly consumed. With its mosaic of myriad, sensuous intricacies and sound colours, it´s tactile on the eardrum, almost palbably aromatic, a complex feast of sensations which bring you back to every -first time- you ever experienced." (David Stubbs, The Wire, Oct 07) "Veteran producer and master of electronic kraut-funk, Burnt Friedman
returns for another solo album after his acclaimed collaboration with
David Sylvian, Stina Nordentsam and Arve Henriksson on the Nine Horses
project. First Night Forever finds Friedman recruiting a number of
vocal contributors, including Australian singer Steve Spacek,
Funkstoerung collaborator Enik, Berliner Barbara Panther and Daniel
Dodd-Ellis. The productions themselves are the real stars here though,
Friedman's multi-layered studio excursions sewing together detailed
drum edits, misty horn sections and even the odd burst of strings when
needed. There are some very peculiar moments on the album though, most
of which come on tracks lent vocals by Theo Altenberg, an artist whose
roots lie in the Vienna (Friedrichshof) commune scene of the '70s. He makes a number of
appearances on the album, seemingly styling he's hollered, gruff vocals
on a hybrid of Tom Waits and James Brown, resulting in the screeching
electro-gospel mania of 'The Healer' and dub freakshow 'Need Is All You
Love'. Good stuff." (boomkat.com) Mandjao Fati-acoustic guitar,electric rhythm guitar,electric bass Burnt Friedman-drum programming,bass,percussion,keys,voice(2/9)
