September 19, 2006 - Not content with the shirt and tie world of the government contract software engineer, Charlie Pecot traded it all in for the life of rock and roll. After discovering the raw power of ethnic instruments and the world fusion scene he "wanted to transcend all that and make it rock." So now, no longer bound to the regulations and codices of the work-a-day world Charlie now punctuates his own musical treatise with melodic essays and articulated grooves. This is the book on "Falik". I Received this CD just in time to load on my player for a sweet ride at about 9,000 feet on the ridge trail up American Fork Canyon in Utah. So this music has been along way to hit my ears, right away I noticed a very distinct sound. The music gave way to a Modern Middle Eastern Mediterranean fling, sexy yet intriguing. Defiantly a hybrid, this music was very hard to put my finger on, at times it had a dark draw to it's structure but always seemed to clean and clear its way along the track. I do web work for a belly dancer so I know a part of this sound, but the rest seemed a creative mix of hip-hop, rock, funk and groove. From the first song Electric Butterfly, I was able to find my grove on the pedal, this had a very good style and beat. I was climbing when the second song The Will of Love started to play, the faint acoustic guitars gave way to a progressive power. New Falik City the 3rd song on the cd was a strong drifting song with a nice beat to move to. By the time I hit the 4th song A Little Like Love I was liking the grove this music was putting me in, it's made to move to, yea this song grooved! Seduction the 5th song was the first with vocals, It had a very strong tribal sound, rich, sleek, seductive and alive. Number 6 Ay Mambo was a u-turn from the other music, confused at times, but able to retrace its beat and keep you going and going and going.
At 7 we find My Beloved
a trance like song with a darker core that was easy to work with. No One But
You the 8th song had a carnival sound at first but soon took on a strong
beat with a female vocal, very nice. The 9th song What Not Things Seem Are They
mixed things up to the point the songs title was evident in the work. Mediterranean
Blue the 10th song was one of my favorite songs, fast paced with powerful
beat that kept you moving in rhythm to the music. The spanish strings was a hook
on this song. The last song #10 And Finally made this cd a notch
in the modern dance market, I could hear this cd being played in exotic clubs. |
