MOI MOI

NETHERLAND DWARF is the name chosen by a Japanese composer and instrumentalist for his creative endeavors. The main man himself prefers to stay anonymous, the line of reasoning being that the person behind the music is unimportant, while the music itself is all that matters. "Moi-Moi" is his debut effort, and was released by Musea Records in 2011.

Japanese artist Netherland Dwarf has accomplished something relatively unique with his debut album "Moi-Moi": a CD of symphonic progressive rock that is uplifting, positive and filled with a number of fun details. Art rock that invites to dancing and toasting rather than introverted concentrated listen. Not a perfect production by any means, but one of the most vibrant and fun filled albums I have encountered in years. Fans of artists like ELP might want to check this one out, especially those amongst them who enjoy a hearty laugh and music that celebrates life in a joyful manner.
