RELEASE DATE: Spring 2004

Ok. First, I must say that I'm not very good to review
CD's. I never really did that before but well, I'll
try to do my best, here, and describe the album simply
as I FEEL it (I cannot explain all the
technical/musical sides and parts, as professional
reviewers do - Im not an expert and I just dont know
HOW to talk about it), because I really think
"EmOcean" deserves to be discovered and appreciated by
as many people as possible. It's one of the most
wonderful prog. CD's I have in my collection and I
sincerely hope that my comments will be useful to
you...
I heard about this CD for the first time (and bought
it) more than one year ago and what I can say about it
is that I really got impressed by the amount of work
that was invested in this album ! About 15 months, I
think ! There was a lot of research and time invested,
as lots of feelings. Its definitely not the kind of
project you write in 2 months. It's a FANTASTIC album
!!!!!! My favourite one, in fact ! I would qualify it
in one word: magical.
The huge concept idea is very deep, complex,
meaningful, beautiful and interesting. (All that was
inspired by the singers dreams). It's related to
"water worlds", the sunken continent, Greek
mythologies, "the above" and much more ! I let you
discover it - this huge and marvellous story - by
yourselves, as it really worth !!! (You can read the
whole concept on Hubi's webpage). It's like a whole
big story that continues itself through the
songs...This is like a dream...and you'd only wish to
be there...If you close your eyes, you really can
"feel" and "see" everything that happens in the album.
You "fly" in that world...like in a fantastic
movie...That's M-A-G-I-C !!!
This perfect piece of work is very special, original
(never seen that kind of work before, I must say, you
cant compare it to something that already exists),
mystical, spiritual even relaxing, in some way ! Its
a very positive album, too !!! Makes me happy, relaxed
and feel good every time I listen to it. This is the
kind of album that makes your skin shivers to every
note, every line, every sound. Also, the lyrics are so
well written, the words so well chosen, this only adds
more strength to the album because you can "see" clear
images of every song in your mind...Hubi Meisel has
such a way to describe things ! It's very easy to
picture everything here...
Of course, I like Hubi Meisel's voice very very much
too !!! It sounds so sweet and he's able to make all
the "changes" he wants with it. He plays with his
voice very well, which I especially love. This album
is musically and vocally incredible and will leave you
wordless, I can promise you that ! There are a lot of
interesting variations through every song, for any
aspect. More you listen to it, more you discover new
sounds, new things that you didnt get at the first
hearing because its well hidden. I like the piano and
keyboards very much, as there is a lot !!! The music
is just amazing anyway !!! The album is simply
"Emotional", haha.
But honestly, it's very difficult to say which song is
the best !!! ALL OF THEM are great equally - but for
different reasons !! (There are 2 bonus tracks too =
14 songs in total) I tell you, EVERYTHING is great !!!
Personally, if I had to tell you which are my 4
favourite songs, I'd choose:
1-
"EmOcean" (so sweet, so beautiful, my favourite
vocals, just made me cry...)
2-
"The Souls of Atlantis" (great musical, vocal
changes and much more !)
3-
"Sapientia Vitae" (great music, meaning and more
too !)
4-
"FantaSea" (youll understand when you'll listen to
it !!)
But REALLY, all of them are AS GOOD AS each other and
deserve to be listened to !!! I recommend it to
everyone !!! That's gonna make you see things in a way
you never saw them before...this album REALLY changed
my way of seeing some things and opened me to
different horizons, new worlds.
Basically, "EmOcean" touched my heart and soul in a
way I can't describe and that's now my favourite
album.
One more major thing: the sound quality is SUPERB !!!!
In my opinion, Hubi Meisel and his musicians have done
a "meticulous" job, here !!!! I just can't wait for
the next album !!! I'm really trustful that it's gonna
be quite "delightful" !!!
Thank you very much Hubi,
Vivien, Marcel, Daniel, Bamby and Chris (the art
worker) for your great work !!! I wish you good luck
in everything you'll do in the future.
^ For my dear Troy and Jasun Tipton !!! Luvs you tons and good luck with the next album !!!! You play very good prog. !!!
The list could be long !!! I like all kind of movies, from fiction to action. Still, here are some of my favourite ones:
The Lord of the Rings (I could watch it forever that I would never get tired of it), Gattaca, The Green Mile, Artificial Intelligence, Braveheart, Gladiator,
K-Pax, Pirates of the Carribbean, The Man in the Iron Mask, What Dreams May Come, Willow, The Neverending Story, The Princess Bride (lolll), Stand By Me, Point Break, Red Corner, The Jackal, The Bourne Identity, War of the Worlds, The Indiana Jones movies, Aliens, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Total Recall, The Matrix trilogy, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Negociator and many many more...
Here's a little word I wanted to say about one of the persons that influenced the most my life...
RIVER PHOENIX
If I remember well
The first movie in which I saw Rio was “Stand By Meâ€
At that moment I was really young
And never really noticed him
It’s only in 1993 - after his death - that I knew more
About him and especially about his actions
Not only his acting was impeccable
But ABOVE ALL – the most important –
He took care of important things
And did everything he could
To protect this world
He raised his voice and he did concrete actions
Like buying with his own money
Parts of forest in South/Central America
To prevent that it be bulldozed and loaded with McDonalds
That’s something that really impress me
And that I admire VERY VERY VERY much !!
I like the fact that he used his career
To express himself
He really did something great !!!
Not everyone would have done so !
Most of the people in his position (if we can call it a “position†right)
Would have took the occasion to only make more and more money
Rio, on his side, only took the time
He spoke for free because it was important to him
And because he really wanted to be heard
That’s something I totally respect !!!!
I can’t pretend or claim that I feel like if I always
Knew who he was or how he was
Because I didn’t know him personally
I never met him either
But actions like his don’t lie
The result is there, in our face
Somebody who cared the way he did could only have
An incredible heart and soul !!!!
He couldn’t have nothing else than good intentions
This person really touched my heart and soul a lot
I always liked his way of thinking
His preoccupations
His passion for respect of life
For respect of nature and animals
It’s thanks to him if I opened my eyes
A long time ago
On real life problems
He’s the one – not knowing it, though – that informed me
About some things and products that should be used carefully
He made me see things in an other way
I think I could even say that he helped me
To improve myself
And to become a better person
He’s the one who made me know about PETA
He’ll never know about it
But it’s the impact that counts, I guess…
Rio, no matter where you are right now
I hope that you know that none of your actions
Or words
Were in vain
Your words didn’t fall in “deaf†hears
Because even today, 13 years after you died
We are still many many people everyday
To catch your words and messages
More and more, we care
We are many many to want to keep protecting this world
As you did
Thanks for everything
Rest in peace
I think if everybody does a little action everyday,
even if it’s only one little action
It’s really possible to get this planet better !!!!
Everyone should do its part
We should never give up !!!!
Like you…
With all the respect I have for you
Vikie
I don't like TV at all, sorry... ;-) Well, maybe except channels like "Discovery", "Historia", things like that. But it's quite rare I watch TV anyway.
I surely love books as much as CDs and DVDs...hehe... Again, I like different styles of literature, but my favourite ones are: horror, fantasy, fiction and thriller. I love Stephen King, Anne Rice, Dean R. Koontz, J.J.R. Tolkien, John Grisham, Patricia J. MacDonald, Jules Verne, Alexandre Dumas, Wells, Marion Zimmer, Diana Gabaldon, J.K. Rowling, Bari Wood, Robert Ludlum, blablabla...
My mother !
She’s the most lovely, great and courageous person in the world and I admire her so much !!! She’s always been there for me and my brother, no matter all the bad times she had and only God knows HOW BAD they were sometimes…
If I could choose to be like someone, I would probably like to be like her. She’s a model to anyone who met her. :-)
