Ibrahim Electric: Rumours from Outer Space
Ossia un crogiolo di mondi musicali variegati collegati dall'uso massiccio dell' elettricità sprigionata dalla chitarra di Niclas Knudsen, dalle valvole incandescenti dell'hammond di Jeppe Tuxen e dai ritmi forsennati della batteria di Stefan Pasborg.
I satelliti che orbitano in questa odissea musicale presentano elementi di soul jazz, di afrobeat, di musica psichedelica anni sessanta, conservano tracce di ritmi balcanici, memorie di hard rock e di surf music, con l'energia straripante e i groove implacabili a rendere armoniose le loro orbite.
A dar risalto alla componente grafica del progetto l'accattivante packaging cartonato dell'album contenente un mini fumetto dai sapienti tratti colorati e popolato da misteriose figure aliene. Nata dalla poliedrica mente del batterista Stefan Pasborg, Ibrahim Electric, con l'ottava incisione in dieci anni, si conferma band tra le più eclettiche, eccitanti e divertenti in circolazione nel vecchio continente.
