Editorial Reviews

Review
Belgian composer, keyboardplayer, producer and soundengineer Frank Van Bogaert is a masterful creator of warm, sensitive, romantic, symphonic and hypnotising electronic music. Nomads, his sixth album (if you don t count One out of Five the best of album) must be Frank s mile stone to this date. He worked 2 years on this album and the sonic richness is second to none. Sounddesign is an important part in Frank's music. Every sound on Nomads is thought of carefully and recorded in the best possible way. The making of this album proved to be more challenging than any previous release I ve done... , Frank says in the sleeve notes. Indeed, Nomads has become an impressive musical journey taking the listener to different but well defined places. Pablo Magne, designer of the sleeve artwork felt very inspired by Frank s music which is showcased in the beautiful 12 page booklet. From the symphonic Crack The Blue Sky , Nomads , Ritual , Aquatopia and Mont Blanc (perhaps the best two tracks on the CD in which Frank shows his skills on the piano), the slightly jazzy Furious Jam , the rhythmic High and Drive , the soft Blue Down There to the closing ambient track Beneath The Ice with an intense atmosphere, every piece on this album has its own special story, sound and image. It has been said and written before: Frank s music stands out of the crowd. On Nomads he has surpassed everything he has done so far. This album is Frank s masterpiece and puts him once more on top of the contemporary electronic music scene. --Paul Rijkens,iO pages,The Netherlands

Product Description
Nomads is Frank's sixth album (if you don t count One ouf of Five ,the best of ). This must be Frank's mile stone to this date. He worked 2 years on this album and the sonic richness is second to none. This masterpiece puts him once more on top of the melodic electronic music scene. Here we have a man that not only makes the music, he feels it, breaths it, lives it. An impressive statement that will stand the test of time. Come and listen to it yourself. This might be the best thing that will happen to you in 2007. Van Bogaert s music is a breath of fresh air

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired music from one of Europe's major contemporary electronic composers, April 26, 2007
By ShriDurga (Japan) - See all my reviews
  
Nomads is Belgian sound designer Frank Van Bogaert's sixth solo release, perhaps his best and certainly the one he worked on longest. Featuring twelve original compositions performed entirely by himself in his studio just outside Antwerp, Belgium, it took Bogaert nearly two years to finish these recordings. The careful attention to detail shows, as you might expect from a professional engineer.

While Bogaert started out in the 1980's as a keyboard player for a Belgian synthesizer band, most of his professional life has been spent behind the boards, recording, mixing, and mastering primarily for theater and television. After 10 years of recording for others, though, Bogaert decided to start recording for himself, resulting in his 1998 debut, Colors, a world beat album similar in style to Deep Forest and Enigma, a style that was most completely developed one year later with the release of Geographic. That 1999 album won three German Schwingungen awards for best album, best song and best artist in 2000.

Since then Bogaert has released four additional albums, though none sounding quite like those first two. Still focusing on the melodic, Bogaert dropped many of the ethnic influences and began recording more open, spacious music built around the synthesizer, music that has led some to compare him to a 21st century Vangelis or Jean Michel Jarre. His latest release, Nomads, bears out such comparisons. Many of the compositions are built around melodies played on the keyboard, backed with synthetic orchestras and often spiced with sound effects, like the rolling waves in Aquatopia, or the synthetic chorus in Mont Blanc. At times Bogaert might also remind you of Pink Floyd or the Alan Parsons Project. One song in particular, Drive, borrows and blends from these two icons of 70's synthesizer pop-rock.

60 minutes of inspired music from one of Europe's major contemporary electronic composers, Nomads is a collection of recordings worth a dedicated listen.
