BodyQuake das neue, dritte Album – SOUL TRAIN
Was “BodyQuake”, dass einmal mehr von Ton van der Kolk und Phil Martin (Aiff, The Jazzinvaders, Soul Snatchers - der SOUL TRAIN berichtete) initiiert, eingespielt, arrangiert und produziert wurde (Martin ist als Produzent gelistet), von seinen Vorgängern unterscheidet ist sein noch einmal deutlich weiter aufgebrochenes musikalisches Spektrum, dass als Hauptzutat nachwievor retrospektiven Soul, Funk und Jazz sein Eigen nennt, jedoch stilistisch regelrecht virtuos Genregrenzen sprengt und diese mit einem stetigen Wechsel in den Tempi deutlich unterstreicht.

Musiccredo: “BodyQuake” is een album waar talent, speelplezier en muzikaliteit vanaf spat!
BodyQuake is het derde album van het Brits, Nederlandse collectief Laura Vane & the Vipertones. In 2008 is de band ontstaan door de samenwerking via Myspace tussen een aantal soulveteranen van eigen bodem en de Engelse souldiva Laura Vane. Songwriter en zangeres Laura Vane, ook wel “miss honey-over-sandpaper tones”genoemd, heeft een indrukwekkende staat van dienst. Zo bracht zij eerder albums uit met artiesten als The Streets en Gnarls Barkley. Continue reading
Dusty Groove: a voice which has the kind of creative slink and groove that you’d find in an Amy Winehouse record!
An even more playful set than before from Laura Vane & The Vipertones – a record that still has some of the older funk and soul elements of previous releases, but which also comes across with a more contemporary vibe as well – a kind of bouncy, jaunty sort of soul that seems to work even better with Laura’s vocals! The singer’s got the kind of quirky charm you’d guess from her image on the cover – a voice that may not challenge Aretha Franklin for soul supremacy, but which has the kind of creative slink and groove that you’d find in an Amy Winehouse record. Instrumentation is mostly from the core combo – with lots of Hammond and Rhodes – and titles include “I Won’t Be Your Gun”, “Pictures”, “Just Do It”, “The Enemy”, “Delightfully Easy”, “Hot Money”, “Hi Fidelity Lover”, and “Silence”.

Our own Web Shop
So there it is! With the arrival of our latest album BodyQuake, we thought it might be a good idea to finally open up our own web shop so we know for sure our releases (we’re so proud of) are available to all of you out there! From now on you can buy the music you like directly from the source, isn’t that cool ?! The web shop is almost up-to-date (meaning: almost containing all the stuff we previously released) but there still need to be added some more records to our catalogue.
