Lars Bartkuhn - The New Continent - A Studio Report

[andyvancouver2000]

I'm a musician so I'm surrounded by music everyday but 'Goodbye Dancing, Hello God' is the best tune I've heard for a very long time. The colors and layers take me to another world. What an amazing job!

'Goodbye Dancing, Hello God' is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful pieces of art my body has had the pleasure of listening to.

Personally, this song is the perfect soundtrack to a transition I've taken in my life...that is from an old life of faceless, drug fuelled clubbing to a deeper, spiritual level. I've recently been reading Eckhart Tolle's 'Power of Now' and this song seems to be an ideal compliment to the book. Much love to Germany for Jazzanova, Compost Recs, Tolle and Lars!

The New Continent blew me away. What a great surprise. The sound is very Pat Metheny and Lyle Mayes inspired but with a different twist. You have an outstanding future. For those who don't know of him go to Itunes or buy his new CD. Execllent!!

Sorry, I meant meant to type - "Choreographies"

Heard 'Goodbye Dancing, Hello God' on Gilles Peterson's Radio 1 show last week and immediately fell in love. Great work Lar's! Any suggestions where I can buy "Choreographic" these days?

great work, seems to be very Pat Metheny-inspired

[laurentius75]

pat is a hero of mine. eventhough i hope you hear my personal touch in the music ;-)

thanks for the compliment!

[pekuniaz]

Of course there is a personal touch in your music.

But Hero´s are somewhat "dangerous" .In some sequences one can get the impression that you imagine seeing Pat or another fusion-master being excited about your work, even this might take place unconscious. One tends to honor his masters and desires their respect, that´s natural.

But you have obviously all the skills you need and you don´t have to hide behind anybody so go YOUR way!

First heard 'Goodbye Dancing, Hello God' a couple of weeks ago when Domu played it on the radio, and it blew me away. Bought the album as soon as it came out and it's been in my headphones ever since. Big respect Lars.

way hot. best success on the new lp.

Massive respect...only really delved into your music a little less than a year ago, but since then I try to listen to anything you're involved in. Album sounds great, and I really respect your level of musicianship. Props.

"Genre?" Dude!! I can't explain what your music is either. All I can say is it's something fresh.
