Thomas Fanger brings his exquisite sensibility to bear on
PARLEZ-VOUS ELECTRONIQUE? (77'23"), his first solo
release. The contrasting tonalities and fascinating interplay of
sequencer patterns prove a compelling foundation for his
melodically pure lead lines and harmonic motifs. The works are
enlivened by mellotron themes, warm pads and shimmering
cosmic effects as intertwining patterns of synth tones race
with each other across a galactic ocean of emptiness. The
complex and detailed electronic rhythms build and then unravel
as a unique space surrounds the listener. This album
resembles the classics as Fanger summons the spirit of
electronic invention to realize nine tracks drawn from the
influential foundation of German spacemusic. Working to his
strengths, on PARLEZ-VOUS ELECTRONIQUE? Fanger does
not merely re-create, but rather re-imagines the originals, and
his compositions gain their power through a fascinating
combination of the old with the new.

PARLEZ-VOUS ELECTRONIQUE? by Thomas Fanger
