An album to look forward too. Dutch musician Stephen Emmer created a spoken word album called Recitement. Tony Visconti handled the producing and the words are delivered by famous speakers like Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Sylvia Kristel, Kurt Schwitters and Richard Burton.
The album was recorded at Studio 150 by Joeri Saal and Stephen Emmer in Amsterdam, and was mixed by Tony Visconti at Phillip Glass' Looking Glass Studios in New York City (the latter's credits include David Bowie, T.Rex, Morrissey), and features several musical performers including Blonde Redhead's singer Kazu Makino, jazz musician Benjamin Herman, legendary pianist Mike Garson (David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins), classical singer Maja Roodveldt, old school rapper Shyrock, and Joost Kroon of New Cool Collective and pop duo Bauer (ex Bettie Serveert).
Watch the video for Passengers featuring Lou Reed.
Recitement is released in the UK April 7th on Supertracks Records.
