Speechless by Manu Ribot
OVD047: Manu Ribot / Speechless
The new album from Manu Ribot travels once again on the border of the 50/60/70 with a mix of soundtrack music style out of a Hollywood science fiction or zombies movies! It's also a reminder of the lounge era music but with such a modern sound and an eccentricity never achieved at the time. It sounds like a five men orchestra but it's a one man show only! It makes you move and jump and be happy and doing air guitar on your sofa! It's hot, it's fun, it's the new Manu Ribot!
What he says about it:
"This record is an attempt of doing an album in the reverse way.
It all started with this metal devil head i grew up with, something to tie curtains of some sort that i had took a picture of.
Wow! it could be a nice thing for an album cover, so i photoshoped it in some ways and was pleased with the result.
Then i realized the facial expression of that devilish figure seems to express perfectly the word Speechless, nice title for an instrumental album.
Then Covid confinement occured i decided to use those horrid times into something positive...
I told myself let's try to picture musicaly this speechless facial expression...
It turned out well and i thought it's good enough to be the last song of an album...
Ok let's do this record reversed from last to first song and try to picture musicaly some things that leave me speechless, from the most ludicrous to the more genocidal of our modern days.
Voilà!"
