Description: BIRDS OF BEAUTY - Mean Old Men (CD, 2008) **NEW** This third release from Karsten Vogel's Birds of Beauty, issued some 31 years after the foundation of the band, may surprise a few of the followers of Vogel as well as his 70's bands Secret Oyster and Burning Red Ivanhoe. Vogel's sax is of course a common denominator on this album, although not always a dominating instrument. He plays with skill and finesse as always, and adds some jazzy touches to the compositions. But the dominating style here is music somewhere in between pop and rock in style, with just a few jazzy leanings. The tunes are slick and laidback, melancholy in mood, with careful keyboard textures, effective drums and melodic dominating bass lines as the foundation for most tunes. Guitars add atmospheric soloing, melodic licks and at times some blues-influenced moods to the songs, Vogel's sax is sometimes used to add atmospheric elements and sometimes for brief melodic segments, and often for soloing of an improvisational nature. Some tunes have vocals as well, mostly spoken but with some actual singing as well. It's a good album though, and should mostly be of interest to people into high class, laid back and slick music in the pop/rock territory in addition to fans of Vogel's sax playing. -- RYM Factory sealed in shrink wrap.
