From Jamedo, music platform:
Carybe, Portugal :
You know what?... funk yourself.
Let me tell you... music, is a very serious thing... right?... but,
there's nothing in the book that says it can't be fun... or even funny.
In fact, I believe that it even benefits a whole lot, when musicians are
having fun while doing it. And to those who may be inclined to think
that "playing with music" is just a subterfuge, think better...
remember, before you can even think about making whatever stunts, the
simplest they may appear to be, you have necessarily to learn a lot of
other basic stuff... and there are no shortcuts. Sure this album,
transpires a lot of fun... but it breathes quality and know how all
over. It's... an extended, but overall gratifying... funky based
production, leaded by an excellent performer, with a voice full of
personality and a full bodied singing, replete of irony and good spirit.
The music is quite addictive and sounds generally super well... and if
at this point and by any chance, you still have at least, the slightest
temptation, of thinking that this funky stuff ain't serious music,
then... most probably... you are in a desperate need situation, of
being funked... and funked real good.
Communication is, in fact, a complicated thing... words, sometimes,
develop such strong roots in some rough ground, that pull out some other
possible meanings and applications or even associations, can be a very
hard task... so it happens within the world of music, necessarily as a
communication vehicle. I'm convinced that, quite often, the most
effective way to mark and transmit a serious point of view, is to joke
with and about it, for instance.
However, this basically sums it up.
Thanks for the music... and stay well.

It has been a long time since anyone has taken potshots at the events of
the world, and all the little things that happen within a persons day.
JoosTVD has picked up, somewhat, where Frank Zappa left off. Perhaps not
with the music end, but lyrical content is a definate hoot! My
favorites are Alice Tea and Tweet. I like the change from past efforts!

I am always sorry for the artists that
you can't buy their albums in a store. You can find a lot of albums here
which are much better tham some of the albums you can buy.
This album is one of them.
I am really sorry that there is a lack of good taste in this society today.
But keep on making good music. I love it and I am glad that i found jamendo.com
I always find albums or songs that entertain me more than Lady Gaga or the whole mainstream music.

Fine album, fine songs, fine arraments, fine players... Also fine lyrics.
So what's wrong? Nothing, except that the Vanished Dutchman is just
here (ok this is a fine place!), and Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga and
RWilliams are everywhere.
Thanks again.

... e questo sia concesso almeno in campo musicale, se in campo sociale sembra impossibile.
Qui di fantasia ce n'è tanta, insieme ad un humor che trasuda dalle note.
In tempi ormai lontani ho studiato Francese. L'Inglese non lo mastico
per nulla:ed è un peccato, perché immagino che per ironia e fantasia i
testi debbano tenere lo stesso passo della musica.
(and this is granted at least in music, if it seems impossible in the social field. Here there's plenty of fantasy, along with a humor that exudes from your notes.
In days gone by I studied French. The English do not chew on anything and it's a shame, because I imagine that for irony and fantasy texts should keep the same pace of the music)

Very creative work. Components of
rhythmic funk and jazz, mix in a very interesting way. The vocal with a
humorous twist, coupled with unusual sounds, enjoy the beholder. The
movements are nice and well built. Very good.

Manchmal muss es einfach mal wieder sein,
dann braucht auch der bluesgestählte Pfaffe ein wenig Spaß in der
Musik. Aber das nicht so, dass es einfach albern wird. Sondern dann
suche ich Platten, die mir ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubern und mich
einfach intelligent unterhalten.
"Orson Nietes" macht es einem
in der Beziehung leicht. Locker funkig perlen die Songs dahin. Die
Gitarre treibt das ganze mit teils abenteuerlichen Solos voran. Und
manchmal fühle ich mich direkt an die großen Zeiten von Steely Dan
erinnert. Nur die haben es sonst so drauf gehabt, Jazz-Intelligenz mit
Pop-Appeal zu versöhnen. Nur dann geht mit dem Künstler dann doch immer
mal wieder der Schalk durch und löst das ganze in befreiendes Gelächter
auf. - Das ist wahrscheinlich der Punkt, der nicht nur mich an den
seligen Zappa erinnert, diese Kombination aus trockenem Humor und
musikalischer Rafinesse.
"Orson Nietes" ist so von vorn bis
hinten durch alle 24 Titel (und über 70 Minuten) eine große Unterhaltung
auf höchstem Niveau. Und wie gesagt: tanzbar von vorn bis hinten ohne
Risiken und Nebenwirkungen. Meine Empfehlung lautet daher: Runteladen
und weiterempfehlen!

....is hier das Motto. Ein Streifzug
durch alle möglichen Stilrichtungen mit einem Augenzwinkern und der
dazugerörigen Portion Spaß, Humor und Frechheit dargeboten mit hoher
musikalischer Kompetenz.
Natürlich sind zappa-eske Einflüsse hörbar ohne den Eindruck einer Kopie zu vermitteln, und das ist gut so.

merci pour le partage : très fort et très agréable , cette pop
faussement légère : comme du Kevin Ayers funky ? ou du little feat jazzy
? Non du Bigshoes?

(thank you for sharing: very strong and pleasant, this deceptively slight pop: like Kevin Ayers funky? or jazzy little feat? Not the Bigshoes?)

Very cool album indeed.

Orson Nietes is an album filled with perkiness and funky
peppiness. JoosTVD clearly shows innovative approaches to music and the
anarchic madness of this album actually portrays a great cohesive piece
of work. It is a wonderfully inventive "popourri" of tongue-in-cheek
medleys and a delight to the ears.

Hey you are the new Frank Zappa! Very very nice album! I'll listen to it better because it worths it especially about the lyrics!

Good evening,
Thanks for the link. I listened to the album the
whole way through and I must admit it is very good! Funky, fresh, and a
joy to listen to. I will write a review for my blog
www.thethoughtsbubble.com
and be sure to post one on the album site
as well.
All the best,

Bella musica suonata e cantata da un artista eclettico e versatile, che
sa spaziare con padronanza e disinvoltura fra diversi generi, ma sempre
all' insegna del groove!
E' una musica ricca di piacevoli sorprese, per di più valorizzata da una bellissima voce...
Da ascoltare, perchè merita!
(Beautiful music played and sung by an eclectic and versatile artist, who can roam with mastery and confidence between different genres, but always to 'teach the groove!
It 'a music full of pleasant surprises, more enhanced by a beautiful voice ...
To listen to, because it deserves!)

I honestly believe that this is probably
one of the best albums released in 2011, not just on Jamendo, but
anywhere. The songs take on several different moods and styles, and
takes you on a musical joyride. I would recommend it to anybody.
From Vivat, blog:
Great album ,fusion of many styles,rock,groove,latin,jazz.Nice vocals.
FREE DOWNLOAD with only your e-mail address or give what you want for the artist,for his work and his music.Thanks to him.
Yeaah, i love working on new songs, bits of them developing ito a bigger whole.
Just flew back from old Rome, sort of a late holiday. Great to walk through, lots of impressions of the old and the new. In the meantime, I forgot to write about it- I brought pen and paper with me- but what the heck. Listened a lot to the new songs I've been working on, fellt like an emperor.....
That's why I keep my options open. you can find me on any online musicstores anyway...!
Let me tell you... music, is a very serious thing... right?... but,
there's nothing in the book that says it can't be fun... or even funny.
In fact, I believe that it even benefits a whole lot, when musicians are
