Tape Five
Music is the only realised Utopia. Here utopia is realized by Martin Strathausen, the brain of the German, French & Russian project: Tape Five, the retro-neobossa-swing-latin-jazzy-pop-flavoured-happening!
Are you a Tango-dancing spy, that is searching suitcase No.347 with very suspicious contents in Nice, Havanna or Moscow in 1972? Are you wearing your best white linen suite doing the cha-cha-cha in Rico's Bar or would you recognize the legendary 'rat pack' in a 60ies nightclub in Las Vegas creating a "swingfood mood"?
No, this is not a James Bond movie, not even a Humphrey Bogart classic in Casablanca, neither a cotton plant in the Southern States in the 'Summertime', nor is it "Avenue du Gare" where you smoke your last cigar... Keep cool - it's just the film in your head!
Or maybe just simply wallpaper your home bar on the South Cape or your Westend chillout-lounge with the right sound? A retro-modern "Cocktail d'Amour" of swing, bossanova, lounge-latin and ambient jazz elements.
to be continued: There are more stories to tell about those films in your head, whether enjoying a White Russian on the north Cape, or smuggling those priceless female vocal recordings out of Napoli, or to hitch a ride to Pili-Pili. Right now...our lips are sealed. But Tape Five will live on, so watch this space!
Saluto, Cin-Cin, na Zdrowie & cheers!
