Kögging: Sketches of Ordinary Life
Kögging, per parte sua, oltre a comporre tutti i brani (per la parte musicale in combutta col pianista Folkert Oosterbeek), li attraversa con la sua vocalità, come detto, piuttosto esile, generica, priva di pathos (dicendo che sta un po' fra Theo Bleckmann e Sting non vorremmo in tal senso alimentare aspettative improprie), non riuscendo a catturare se non proprio a livello di pura epidermide, ein verità neppure sino in fondonegli interventi appunto di Michael Moore.
Ne esce così un album di pura evasione e relax (a patto di non pensare che forse quello stesso tempo si potrebbe impiegare altrimenti), senza pretese né necessità alcuna di far ripartire, subito o anche in un futuro più o meno prossimo, il display del nostro lettore.
