FROM THE PRESS:
Greetings From Mercury : music driven by rhythms.
Jeroen Van Herzeele has made, with his second CD, an eclectic piece of work, inspired by John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, early Miles Davis - fusion, urban rap, John Scofield and many others. The music is based on groovy, funky rhythms with intelligent and catchy elements.
With Greetings From Mercury, Jeroen has looked for a much rougher sound. After all, he grew up with rock music, such as Jimi Hendrix. He still wants more collective improvisation and at the same time write more " worked - out " - compositions.
Steven Segers weaves his very interesting lyrics in the music and is therefore very important The rap in the music is also an extra rhytms - element, a vocal percussion and a new sound colour.
This is a powerful band, thanks to its intelligence and its strong unity with clever items, moving polyrhytms and a definite strong sound
Greetings From Mercury make funky music with a lot of grooves and saxophone solos which remind us of Coltrane.
