  • Presents El Hombre Invisible

    ESC07

    Artist: Vagn E. Olsson

    Label: Escho

    Long awaited debut album from Copenhagen maverick composer; musician, poet and former No Knox member: Vagn E. Olsson. This dauntless flaneur has since the late seventies worked in his own idiosyncratic and highly personal style, combining elements of crudeness and primitive beauty with swirling riffs and complex rhythm tapestries. For Vagn E. Olsson presents El Hombre Invisible, the composer has hand picked a versatile group of musicians from seminal Danish bands such as Sods, Cockpit Music, Düreforsög, The Bleeder Group and Mit Nye Band. Most of the compositions were recorded in a 2003 studio session, and the album was completed in 2007 after lenghty overdub sessions and careful reconsiderations. Mixed by Eschos own Andreas Hauer-Jensen (with assistance from the composer and Nis B) and mastered, embellished and cut to vinyl by the sonic wizard Goodipal, this crack team has done everything to carry out Olssons demanding and hyperdynamic musical visions on this album.
