Jamie Cullum - Momentum (Delux Edt.)

Caveat: The relatively small additional cost for the Deluxe Edition is an absolute must. Not because of the accompanying DVD, which is more for fans to interview and detailed statements about each song, but rather because of the second CD, the three additional songs (including the non-existent on the Solo Edition "theme song" MOMENTUM) and six contains more directly rehearsed versions of the album (Live From Abbey Road).

For me the -vorsichtige- distance of FSK sticker, incidentally, was not a problem.

In the previous reviews have been highlighted on the title; I can connect me essentially. I especially like the musical borrowings from earlier eras (Motown sound and -Soul, Mardi Gras and the recurring passages with the good old Hammond organ), which nevertheless does not "stale" sound, but underline the independence of the songs. Only the in the cool beat of the 90 recorded album version of LOVE FOR $ ALE disappointed me. Because I like the version of this title much better on the CD 2.

Ultimately raises this CD a (naive?) Question that has nothing to do with the product but employs me nonetheless. Why are artists with a similar career and high quality musical output as varying degrees of success? Cullum's concert in Cologne (age waiting room) was sold out shortly, and a short time later Peter Cincotti played his album "Metropolis" also in Cologne (LUXOR) spectators estimated 80; Nor is the lack of success of a ASHLEY Hicklin compared to a MIKE ROSENBERG (alias PASSENGER) explained ....

Conclusion: The new album by Jamie Cullum comes with no "standards" of ("Love for $ ale" is the extent of Cole Porter's original way that I do not want to attribute this genre it) and maintains throughout splendid.

Have fun with it !!!!
