A MEMORY OF OUR FUTURE

'Blood in the Water' bam the Jethro Tull flute takes the lead; a catchy Gabrielesque world music air immediately emerges with jazzy-symphonic hints, a bit of Toto for the suave air; piano and flute break accompanied by drums. 'Enigma of Reason' with double vocal line, acoustic guitar by Di Meola, pads and keyboards drifting on an ethnic fusion, the sax in a soothing stroke, jazz becomes prog in a good way, in search of new sound elements; have a bit of Yessian choirs, the voice and atmosphere of a Youssou n'Dour; twirling accordion, warm woodwind instruments with the easy-to-access pop choir and the enjoyable meolean finale. 'The Wanderer' lollipop sweetness, Knopflerian ballad, real gem; languorous anthem on the harms of the pandemic, the voice accentuating the effect of a possible serene future with words from Tolkien. 'The Big Quit' air world, on one side Chick Corea, on the other Peter Gabriel in his danceable pieces; the sound fuses the compulsive air eyeing not specific decades but musical genres; a utopian fusion to bring together the jazzy fan with the neo-classical ones, the one who experiences music as an art of entertainment and the one who sees it as an intimate moment; I hear Vollenweider, Woody Allen, it's Arabic and diverse. 'Devil's Encyclopedia' an encore 'Blood' with Ian and his flute and the addictive rhythmic base leading to headbanging on it; heady, compulsive, rolling over musical name barriers; very fresh, modern. 'A Memory of My Future' is the song that made me want to review it; fluid guitar from Mike Stern, sax from Dire Straits, heavy violin riff, easy chorus and hushed vocals like Mark, captivating tunes. The music merges as dreamed to silence those who want drawers; ah this trumpet bewitches me, beyond the music.

'I Am Because You Are' continues with a folk pop tune that Knopfler would not deny, melodic sweetness mixed with sensual world music, the clarinet, the tune like 'Why Worry', the bucolic lullaby. 'My Share of Your Life' with the bewitching intro, the organ predominating; chorus which gives pride of place to this guitar ticking off time with its crystalline notes; the redundant and addictive break, flirting with the aforementioned ambiances. 'Age of Thought' jazzy trumpet from a night bar bringing the fusion with this Bartok-style neo-classic with a folkloric side that is strong right up to Cory's plaintive organ, a zest of Kansas too, hilarious. 'Matchbox Racing' again Knopfler, Toto-like air, musical diversity, a bit of Flower Kings, Big Big Train with a trumpet casting doubt on the prog sound; confusing and enjoyable. 'We Stay Loud' violin and ethnic percussion for the heady rhythm and a rambling of timeless jam notes; dancing, swinging, tribal. 'Melting Pot' with a warm African world feel; slow peregrination on the border of the jazzy psyche or how to bring music together.

Man Doki Soulmates offers authentic, contemporary, enjoyable, lascivious and unforgettable music; warm and moving, minimal and complete. A musical haven for a major album. (Initially on progcensor)
