FLIES ON ORANGES

Mute Albino delivers a unique style, and has quickly become as essential to my music collection as the great classic artists of Progressive Rock. "Flies On Oranges" is dynamic and keen, the songs seem to tell stories that provoke my mood, thoughts, make my emotional flavors water.

The instrumental and compositional style of this music invites you to fully surrender your senses. Visualize? Take a trip inside an alternative self encompassed by spacey, hauntingly romantic, imaginative soundscapes. Get into this music that I just know you're going to crave!

SIMMETRIA FRANCESE: Crisp and clean. Elemental. Organic. Sensual. The imagination is diving into a fresh water stream and emerging awakened.

PARIS IN VEIL: An opera. This is genius.

ELSIE'S PHILOSOPHY: Emotive. Hauntingly sensual. Lovely

PROXYNAILS: Evolutionary. Inventive. Absolutely love the guitar.

THERAPEUTIC DEPRESSION: Minor Blues. Fades into folds of full passionate force. Penetrating emotive intensity. Razor guitar slides clean and deep while a gorgeous composition of soulful tones lift the senses within a climax upon climax of notes. This is musical love-making. Listen, with headphones. If you don't feel it, envision it, and get a taste of it that inspires a hunger for more? have your pulse checked.

FLIES ON ORANGES : Vitality, Sensual. Playfully passionate. Blissfull

THE MOLES VISION: Vigorous. Adventurous... a magical Big Top Circus

ZETAFREUH: Manic. Compulsive. Erratic. Feels and smells like Spring

OMERTA!: Captivating mystery. Visuals are an endless plot; a Pink Panther film, or James Bond?

WELCOME TO MY HEAD: Vitality. Adventure; matters not what's on the mind, this one takes me on a journey that makes my eyes water with joy... love the guitar riffs!

THE WAITING ROOM: Worldly. Musical time capsule. Stir your past lives, taking sips of déjà vu

Mute Albino is the moniker chosen by Belgian musician and composer Stip Vanstiphout for his musical escapades. In the summer of 2009 he released his debut effort Flies on Oranges, a venture made up of songs constructed over the last three decades.

What's served on the 11 tracks that make up this first effort are guitar-based and -dominated composition; featuring multiple layers of guitar patterns of various expressions, blended with melodic bass passages, slightly jazz-tinged programmed rhythms and toned down, subtle keyboard and synth layers in the back of the mix.

Fluent and melodic, yet also containing subtle dissonant elements, the tunes have just about the right amount of tension to stay intriguing. And despite the apparent light and melodic touch dominating these excursions, darker mostly underlying patterns sees to it that this effort isn't one to be regarded as an easy listening experience - even if the challenging aspects of the album is subtle and hidden rather than up front. All in all a good effort.
