The Art of Sampling ...

... So Parov Stelar describes his music. Electronic perfection with cross-genre influences that are preferably in Jazz. We know it from the numerous publications of the last years. 'The Princess' was the last album by Parov Stelar and during it to see the whole delicate, elaborately composed songs were, so he drew inspiration for 'The Invisible Girl' from the feeling and the euphoria of his tours and this energy is now incorporated as a remarkably tangible matter into his shots. Within an intense studio-week the instrumentation were recorded and then the necessary fine-tuning took place in night-long production sessions. The first audible impression gives us the piece 'La Calatrava' and it takes us Parov Stelar in a vast and fascinating parable, which inaugurated scary impulsive and with gentle emphasis of electronic wizardry.

In these four minutes of playing time, the jazz elements are used in measured doses, Dance & House create effortless elegance and how high the quality of Parov Stelar may be truly appreciated, shows us the man from Linz in the second piece of 'The Invisible Girl'. Uplifting celebrations let exhilarating dancing legs in beguiling escapade fly over the polished surfaces, while colleagues and gifted live musician Jerry di Monza and Max the Sax magic of Parov Stelar as additional dose the party animals people inject. The title track of the same screwed himself up to an absurd catchiness and a respite this seems not yet in sight. For 'Doctor Foo' case, although a bit more leisurely resound in the ear canals - the swing, the Sex and the style of the 20s, it does not want to miss yet. A pompous splendor, triggered by the engaging trumpets, makes the tango-like melodies shine in warm melodies and why Parov Stelar has opted for the words "Trio", can explain a bit with the following songs.

'Menage A Trois' and 'The Fireface' commit namely the insidious way back to the pure form of jazz. Parov Stelar versa for the first time the preponderance of the electronic order and lets his beloved jazz piece in 'At The Flamingo Bar' come to the fullest advantage. I admit it openly, also longstanding supporters will first experience habituation problems. 'La Divina' is likely to be called in the financial statements as a counterpart to 'La Calatrava', well spread out, as impressive and characterized by strong intensity - but provided in principle with a more experimental touch. What follows then, are three modified versions of the already listened songs 'Doctor Foo (Smooth Version)', 'Menage A Trois (Club Edit)' and 'The Fire Face (Club Edit)'. Overall, the new and slightly different approach by Parov Stelar has failed remarkably well. Jazzy, dirty and a bit wicked, the Austrians and become once again he shows with his new work that commercial success can be derived in rare cases by a raised quality. Bravo!
