Alan Cave, De la tet aux pieds...Tek Review

[eztek]

If you have not gotten that one, please rush to your nearest store and get it. This one is hot, sa pi cho ke on pate kode….the best in years…the last time I witnessed a cd comparable was in the late 90s/00s and it was one by AC also. I mean this thing got beats, melody, harmony, it changes mood, and it reconstructs feelings. He must have put lots of time and effort on this one.

The cd starts with Mwen Jwenn, a song dedicated to his wife Myrtho. This is a beautiful song and the lyrics are well thought-of (Mezanmi Pwoche pi pre pou'm rakonte'n Yon koze sou yon bel bebe…m'jwenn yon fanm ki lo'm kriye seche dlo nan je mwen…Mwen jwenn yon fanm le l'ap domi m'anvi'l bwote'm nan rev lap fe) Follows by Je Femen, Chik-Chek-Chok with T-Jude, you guys remember Tjude’s show on Brikouri? He killed that track with AC, Amokilele(A song about this girl he met in Guayana…this song reminds me of my younger days when I used to listen to Lionel Richie…lyrics can be found here…http://www.brikouri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9706 , Delala(He introduced Vilx from “Please baby and Gansta” in this one, Markarious did a stunning job on the guitar, listen to the melody line folks, just listen), Can’t do this to me, Men mwen…and 11 more tracks. Yep, you get 17 tracks in this one. Track 14 is the Remix of “Yereswa”.

This is a great CD guys. You should get it even if you are not into Kompa because this one has all the flavors and then some. I only wish that he did not put “Happy Birthday (10)” in this one. Don’t get me wrong! It is a great song. I just don’t think it fits in an AC cd. It is too Zin’ish for this album. Some may feel that he put too many remixes in this one, 4 remixes. For me, that’s nothing contrast to what I have observeed in the industry. Various cds have more than 2 interludes, a troubadour and remixes as tracks. This one is dissimilar, you get 13 tracks…An awe-inspiring remix of Yereswa (I like the remix better than the original), a zouk adaptation of “men mwen” which I think he owed his zouk fans.While several of the tracks can be set as favorites, mines are in this order (Cant do this to me, Delala, Amokilele, Jwenn,Tou Kareman,tete aux pieds,malere,men mwen) 8 favorites, who can hammer that ?

Well done AC, as you whispered in your interview with Brikouri, this is really a great CD. This sets apart great talents from talents. I hope your fans appreciate your great work and support you on that one. This can be the orientation for our music to cross-over.

Si pa gen sitirans, pa gen vole….siw achte on bootleg cd, ou se on vole menm jan ak neg kap fe kopi cd illegally and sell them. Not only that, you could be in trouble if you are caught with a pirated copy of a cd/dvd. Please stop this insanity and support our artists. Cds are not expensive, you can buy an original now for $8-10$ against $15 in the past. Please buy originals! Bootlegs don’t help but they do destroy…
