{"product_id":"23s-flamingo-cd-8091822182","title":"23s - Flamingo [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome back to the vivid, resonant sound-world of The 23s. With 2008's Bolivia (KK 043 CD\/LP), the mysterious one-man-band delivered on an intention to make another kind of music - something that isn't entertainment, something that isn't show, something that goes, gently, straight to your soul. Now the producer from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has done it again with Flamingo. He delivers a special kind of cinematic journey that grooves in the opposite direction from his other, more rhythm-based, hypnotic dance productions. He does produce pattern-based music as The 23s, but it pursues a different intention; each listener should dive into a hallucinatory world of seen and unseen films projected by the inner eye. All ten tracks are romantic smooth-operators. They put themselves in service of an artistic vision in which the listener can get lost. The album can be seen as a love letter to the movie scores of 1970's French cinema or the impressionistic sound arrangements one hears in the early cinema of Peter Greenaway. With double-bass heat, discreet piano melodies, levitating guitar chords, some gentle horns here and there, and beats that recall the warm, jazz-influenced soul of old-school hip-hop, The 23s generate a sublime get-down-deep instrumental journey. You can listen to it attentively or play in the background, but it is recommended that you play Flamingo with a decent amount of volume, as all lounge tracks get bigger and brighter with sonic intensity, with an atmosphere that is alternately foggy and flooded with light. It's a 40-minute electronic journey that offers open-minded souls a chance to fill in the gaps between the notes with their very own milky fancy. The album is released in advance of a bunch of remixes by producers like Edward (Giegling, White), Christian S. of the Comeme tribe, Canadian producer The Mole, and German post-rock\/electronic band To Rococo Rot.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Scene Where the Car Was Blown Away (5:17)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny Second (5:46)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnn's Theme (3:09)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpider (2:42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eto the Moon and Back (1:24)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Need a Butler (3:39)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelizioso (4:52)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadow Music, Pt. 2 (3:28)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Invisible 5 (3:38) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelizioso Reprise (3:04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"79","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50786391032104,"sku":"88091822182","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2890124.jpg?v=1763991290","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/23s-flamingo-cd-8091822182","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
