Best sounds of 2008 : Parov Stelar Shine


Like life, music must move on and progress. But like life, we must remember to reminisce and recall the past at times. It is the sole reason why we enjoy experiencing new and going back to old music, it is an extension of life. Shine, the third artist album by Parov Stelar, gratifies life´s movements and moods perfectly, the new the old. What we already know about Parov Stelar and what we don´t know. This is obvious to Marcus Füreder aka Parov Stelar too. Sampling Charleston and Jazz, conjuring up new Breakbeat and Pop into a creation of interesting music is no easy task, but Parov Stelar seems to have a sensibility about what it should sound like. Thankfully his worldwide fans agree as the Cinderella story of a new unheard artist from Austria´s third largest city Linz shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, things can only snow roll more as word gets around of the brilliant new music of Parov Stelar. Fans will enjoy traditional Parov Stelar tracks that offer sexiness and sophistication, these same fans will be delighted that this artist is not standing still and resting on his laurels and just repeating the same sound as he gets a little rougher and dirtier in places. This is not elevator music, this is not lounge, this is simply good music with influences and cognitive factors far and wide.
