The industry and music critics alike are celebrating the forthcoming new album of the Leslie Mandoki-led band Mandoki Soulmates, the Memory Of Our Future album, which will be released worldwide on May 10.
A letter written by hand… with a fountain pen to our audience
– said Leslie Mandoki about the new record, recorded with analog devices.
Kusette.com sums up the reviews of the album so far and writes that it is a rare undertaking to create an album of around eighty minutes based on a central idea in today’s music world. They also emphasize the purely analog signal processing, which was present in the production of the record, from the microphone to the mixing and mastering to the vinyl lacquer cutting.
From progressive music to jazz rock
A Memory Of Our Future album creates a diverse musical work that ranges from progressive music to jazz rock and combines compositional maturity, playful lightness, and artistic solos with its vibrant tension and profound socio-political lyrics – they conclude.
The analog master tape, which was mixed in Mandoki’s studio, was further refined by the famous Greg Calbi (who has worked with names such as John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon or Bruce Springsteen) with the performer in the Sterling Sound mastering studio in New York, while the vinyl master was Produced at Emil Berliner Studios.
Both guarantee that the album perfectly meets the needs of all special audiophiles, Kusette emphasizes in its statement.
Here we are in the cascade of crises with wars, epidemics and geopolitical power games, where the Black Swan has landed among us
said the founder of the band about the black swan on the album cover.
