Oua.ch: The Essence of a Deep Kiss

A tre anni da Feuille Blanche il trio Oua.ch torna con una nuova registrazione, ma anche con un diverso bassista, Arnaud Francelet, al posto di Pierre-Andre' Dougoud.

Il disco delude però le attese, muovendosi su territori più semplici e frequentati di quanto non accadesse nel precedente. Aumentano ritmi accattivanti, miscele elettroacustiche di facile presa, ma viene meno la libertà e la creatività che avevamo apprezzato in Feuille Blanche.

Fortunatamente rimangono i bei suoni (ed il nuovo bassista in ciò non fa rimpiangere il precedente) e qualche atmosfera azzeccata ("Le temps sans temps," "Malecon"), ma - viste le potenzialità del trio - il disco sembra soprattutto un'occasione sprecata.
