Rudy Trouvé, visual artist, musician and well-known in the Antwerp music scene, has brought together a new group of musicians. As usual, this group consists of all kinds of members of other Belgian bands, such as Kiss My Jazz, Dead Man Ray and Zita Swoon. The record sounds a lot more finished than other Trouvé projects, the songs have a head and tail and are about something. For example about
… quitting smoking and heavy metal. While whispering / singing Rudy manages to create an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of the quiet songs of Kiss My Jazz. Also notable are the two modest covers, I Wanna Be Your Dog (Iggy & The Stooges) and Blue Monday (New Order), which are played with great conviction. With the album 2002-2003 Rudy Trouvé has once again proven to be one of the most interesting Belgian artists. (JdD)more
