My five star diligence I forgive also out of respect and sympathy for the musician, who just as well could have 5-star chef, winemaker, criminal psychologist, forensic pathologist or watchmaker could have been. Part-time job: flea circus tamer and bean counters. Who knows, maybe he does something like that in his real life actually.
Who knows anything about Bjorn Riis, who always restrains himself chatting away about his private life nobly. On the name "gilmourish.com" he wants to come, as the Iron Maiden guitarist who heard him play at a concert (or so), later said to him, his style would very "gilmourish" sound. For the young guitar Riis course the greatest compliment to boot from a famous Gitarristen- "colleague", the one he ever had to make. - Can I well understand.
What's terrible happens in the life of Bjorn Riis? A fatal car accident of a close relative or close friend, to which he himself was involved? - Why someone calls his band just "Airbag" and his solo album "Lullabies in a Car Crash"? (Other itself "Hooters" call) - All texts on this record sound like processing a significant post-traumatic stress disorder. Has anyone ever asked him?
That Riis or airbag probably involuntarily also always sound more or less a bit like A-Ha, I find not bad. Perhaps the musicians feel the self as annoying (as we would find a German accent in English lyrics as cruel), but south of Northern Europe we feel the audience exactly pleasant exotic reindeer-kind. The Moody, Tearful, with a penchant for self-pity, even the unfavorable balance of sunshine in the Nordic countries is probably due. Even A-Ha could never really take - and it sounded nice for Central European ears. In the case of Bjorn Riis will have something to do with his alleged inexperience as a songwriter. About sadness and melancholy, it simply writes first lighter than serious musician who is reggae-affine not necessarily.
Mr. Dave Gilmour, if you should read along here by accident, please try to refresh Mr. Riis but finally on your houseboat one! - The Battersea Power Station is not enough! - He would have deserved something from when your on the narcissistic-profile euro tables wannabe guitarists Association (of which he stands out somehow soothing) now largely accepted unofficial successor.
The plate is from start to finish very well audible. She offers me no musical surprises is absolutely no way something self-indulgent for the electric guitar-savvy sound gourmet, but or even a (cheap) plagiarism. The man and musician Bjorn Riis is too smart for that. A humble man who shines through skill. Less perhaps as brilliant creative artists than as a gifted restorer with the pink thumb.
