Review SIMS in Bluestown!

Link to Bluestown

 
Door: Peter Marinus

Het grote muzikale avonturenboek van JoosTVD is inmiddels, al ik goed geteld heb, toe aan deel 18. En opnieuw blijf ik mij verbazen over het feit dat JoosTVD nog geen grote naam in ons eigen land, of in het buitenland, is.

Joost van Dinther, ook bekend als The Vanished Dutchman, laat namelijk opnieuw horen dat we hier met een zeer eigengereide artiest te maken hebben, die zijn invloeden niet verloochent maar ze integreert in zijn eigen unieke stijl.

In het openingsnummer van zijn nieuwe album, City Of The Pretty, klinkt JoosTVD als de Hollandse Isaac Hayes, of zoals U wilt Barry White. Funky symfonische soul dus met een eigenwijze snerpende synthesizer.

In Join The Line-Up gaat JoosTVD weer op de van hem zo bekende loom swingende toer waarbij hij klinkt als Todd Rundgren, die op de latin toer is gegaan. Go With U is een loom funky popnummer waarin lome Michael Franks-achtige zang vermengd wordt met de tropische Kid Creole stijl.

Het lui stuwende en jazzy groovende City Of The Mirrorballs verraadt invloeden als Steely Dan en Michael Franks. Waiting For heeft een intiem tikkende, Dance Away (Roxy Music)-achtige, tikkende ritmebox in een sfeervol zwevende ballad, die verpakt is een warme synthesizer deken.

Na de vrolijk huppelende jazzy groover The Urge volgt Legends. Een gestoord kermis-achtige instrumental met een dwars eigengereid geluid, dat af en toe aan Zappa doet denken.

Bestel je Pina Colada alvast maar terwijl je mee deint met de tropische lome groover The Kind Of Fool I’ve Been. JoosTVD klinkt hier als Tony Joe White die zich ook eens aan de latin waagt. Celebe is een zeer breekbare speeldoos-achtige melodie waarin invloeden vanuit de vaudeville en rokerige jazz te vinden xzijn.

A Set Of Delight Knobs is een hoekig stuiterend funky nummer dat gevolgd wordt door de “bijna samba” van het lome Sandals In The Sand. De heupwiegende groover Can’t Own What Fades Away sluit het album af.

Ik probeer het gewoon nog een keer. JoosTVD verdient het om groot te worden. In de tussentijd vermaak ik mij prima met deze nieuwe editie van het Grote Muzikale Avonturenboek van JoosTVD!

 


 

English:

The big musical adventure book by Joostvd has now, if I have counted well, ready for part 18. And again I continue to be surprised that Joostvd is not yet a big name in our own country, or abroad, is.


Joost van Dinther, also known as The Vanished Dutchman, shows again that we are dealing here with a very self -willed artist, who does not deny his influences but integrates them in his own unique style.

in the opening number of His new album, City of the Pretty, sounds Joostvd like the Dutch Isaac Hayes, or as you want Barry White. Funky symphonic soul with a stubborn sniffing synthesizer.

In Join the Line-Up Joostvd goes on the so-known loom swinging tour again where he sounds like Todd Rundgren, who went on the Latin tour. Go with you is a Loom Funky Pop song in which Lome Michael Franks-like vocals are mixed with the tropical Kid Creole style.

The lazy driving and jazzy grooving City of the Mirrorballs betrays influences like Steely Dan and Michael Franks. Waiting for has an intimate ticking, dance away (Roxy Music)--like, ticking rhythmbox in an attractive floating ballad, which is packed a warm synthesizer blanket.

After the cheerful hopping jazzy groover the urge follows legends. A disturbed Kermis-like instrumental with a transverse sound, which is occasionally reminiscent of Zappa.

Order your Pina Colada as well as you are with the tropical Lome Groover the Kind of Fool I've leg. Joostvd sounds like Tony Joe White who also ventures into the Latin. Celebe is a very fragile play box-like melody in which influences from the Vaudeville and smoky jazz can be found. The Sand. The hip -rocking groover can't own what fades away closes the album.

I just try again. Joostvd deserves to grow up. In the meantime, I am great with this new edition of the large musical adventure book by Joostvd!

Twitter chums

As I mentioned earlier, Tom Robinson has supported me before... well, here's a great chat I've just had with the man👊😎:


 

 

 


Mirrorballs and Tom Robinson!

Dear Tom Robinson has good ears! He's played a few songs on his radio show in the past, so I'm already spoiled enough I guess. A lot talent out there! 

Just his mention of my latest song is enough for me

City Of The Mirrorballs [Promo 2022]

I was not planning to make another promo as I'm a musician first. but then... I stumbled on some instagram effects to enhance your selfies! Well that did the trick and as you can see, it's all over this video. I know, I'm aware that I'm getting old and ugly, so in the future I will not overdo this anymore. 

I've just had a lot of fun writing, playing and recording this upbeat track "City Of The Mirrorballs" that I could not resist producing a promo around it. I even went so far as to use a frame for the front and back cover for the new album, Sand In My Shoes.

Hope you like it, don't get lost in the trance of the mirrorball!

Next: Released, where can I find it?

Fat Check on Tik Tok

While waiting for the new album to arrive I stumbled on this...

An oldie from 2008 (album 'Hey Jose'). Tik Tok is very popular these days, all kind of crazy stuff happening when you allow yourself to be filmed... by yourself. Well, the word 'fat' is often literally used in these clips though, it was only meant to emphasize the money part, well...
