The career of the Belgian keyboardist Marc Moulin has taken strange turns. In the early 1970s he released three jazz albums that were strongly inspired by the work of Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis of the time. One of these, Sam Suffy, is still a sought after item among avid vinyl collectors. In the late seventies he had seen it in jazz and joined the electro disco company Telex, which scored a big
… hit with Moscow Diskow. When he was heard again in 1992, he turned out to be involved in ambient. Now he is back to his roots and makes jazz with the necessary dance influences. The comparison with St. Germain is easily made, because here too there are not bad compositions in themselves, which, however, are completely smoothed out by extremely unimaginative house beats. Marc Moulin should delve into broken beat, because he would probably feel a lot more comfortable with that based on his past. (AD)more
