Artist:	F.S.BLUMM
Title:	Mondkuchen
Label:	MORR MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MORR 021CD

2001 release. Frank Schültge aka F.S.Blumm presents a multitude of lovely pop songs and atmospheric
       soundscapes. Mondkuchen seems like a colorful picture transformed into music, telling little stories in many
       layers. Its tension covers a wide field from crushed acoustic sound experiments to perfect pop tunes. Ingredients of his
       sound-kitchen are mainly acoustic instruments like piano, kalimba, vibes or guitars or more rare ones like an accordion.
       The musical result is in a way original, so that the popular namedropping doesn't help that much to describe F.S.Blumm's
       music. We still try it because we think there is a parallel to bands and projects like Gastr Del Sol or others who
       work on the combination of improvised elements with pop-approached structures. Likewise, when thinking about Wechsel
       Garland, it's hard to believe that F.S.Blumm is a one-man-project. It shows the many skills of a
       multi-instrumentalist, but the best thing is that he manages to sound like a perfectly tuned in orchestra, homogenous and
       well balanced. F.S.Blumm works with melodious sound, with deep buried memories and inner-mind visions, but at the same
       time his music is determined by timeless elegance and an amazing facility. The correlation of different instruments and
       beautiful simple melodies rule the sound. Experimental ideas just communicate with accessible and friendly music and
       Mondkuchen is a good example of how deep this combination can be without losing tension and humor.

Title:	Zweite Meer
Label:	MORR MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	MORR 053CD

F.S. Blumm presents his second album following the debut Mondkuchen. Ideas for Zweite Meer started
       to flow in F.S. Blumm's head while being on the road. Traveling down the west coast from Canada to Mexico with Greg
       Davis and E*Rock, it could not have been composed any other way. Behind the car window, landscapes kept
       morphing during the length of one day. Breathing in the morning, diving through the desert, arriving in Las Vegas at
       night. Outside and in between: the horizon, the sky, expanse and distance. The origins of huge gestures and great pop
       music. Inside F.S. Blumm's head: Burt Bacharach, Tom Jones and -- not far away -- Brian Wilson.
