our release "folk music from outer space" is now available!


well, the title says it all.
the physical release in CD format will be available during gigs but the whole album can be downloaded from our bandcamp page.
it's a name-your-price download so go grab your download here and decide if you want to pay for it or not!



update: our release was reviewed on the Vital Weekly:
From the world of Guignol Dangereux, recently (Vital Weekly 938) resurrected, but long before that part of the world that was the busy world of CDR labels (Tib Prod and Simple Logic), we get a third sign of new life. These days he plays the handpan. On 'Rhythms Of Trance' (Vital Weekly 938) he plays trance music, like in techno music, but then all acoustic, whereas with 'Rave Days Are Over' (vital Weekly 966) the music is electronic and inspired by the 80s underground. No electronics, it seems, are to be found on the duo he has these days with Simone Campani on bouzouki and Guignol Dangereux on handpan and percussions. They call themselves The Pine-A-Tune Project and there is indeed a folky aspect to their music, mainly, I think through the use of Bouzouki. I quite enjoyed this release, at least for some time. But it has fifteen pieces and it lasts fifty-three minutes. That I thought was a bit long for what they had to offer. A certain uniform approach to using both instruments is what in the end made me like this a lot less. Certainly the first thirty or so minutes I thought this was really good; it made a big difference with lots of the other music that I review and this difference provided me a fine anti-dote to all of that. But then more proved not to be as good; more became too much I think. That was a pity. Just because one can fill up an entire disc doesn't necessarily mean one has to. Make your own selection and you have perfectly great release. (FdW)
