Wildmimi
Rêves et fantasmes d'une chaussure ordinaire
(2011 - Chant Du Monde - FRANCE)

A most impressive performance from multi talented French composer Remi Sciuto, that covers colorful ground combining what Kolonovits ‎did on 'Life Is Just A Carnival' (back in 1976), neo opera, theatrical, avant-garde, lots of rock and pop, nods to Mike Batt And Friends ‎(think 'Tarot Suite'), Michael Mantler (think 'The Hapless Child'), and Carla Bley (especially her involvement with 'Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports'). Add the big band element, then the beauty of melancholy dream music in just the right spots. Rémi Sciuto is a brilliant composer and multi instrumentalist, not to leave out vocalist and author.

Released on the famous French label (Chant Du Monde) , founded in 1938, who had a brief relationship with Albert Marcœur (1984), Art Zoyd (1971), released a lot of Magma, and issued some of John Greaves albums ('Songs','Chansons', and 'The Trouble With Happiness'), the gigantic roaster of artists goes on forever. Wildmimi is in incredible company. A mouth full of adjectives are demanded for this release, as it treads over so many terrains. A thrilling listen, with pleasure to the ears and soul at every moment. Premium participation from:

A circus and stage performance no one will forget, complete with every emotion displayed on its sleeve. HUGH RECOMMENDATION!
