Unreleased
Music: Ottmar Liebert - Untitled Opium (Unreleased)
Mood: Uplifted
Now this is why we love the Listening Lounge! Unreleased tracks from Mr. Liebert, starting off with one from La Semana sessions and one from Opium sessions. Honestly, I'll take La Semana sessions over Opium sessions, the latter is not one of my real favorites (don't kill me, Matt and Boris!) and I liked the unreleased LS track a lot better, but anyway...with what other artist will you get this, honestly? As I commented in his blog, this brought up an otherwise fairly depressing day because it really shows for the first time, I think, the incredible potential this Lounge has. Full albums that we can buy in a store are nice. Stuff from more obscure artists like Steve Stephens is nice too. Live tracks are even nicer. But this? Here we're getting brand new, unreleased material, exclusively online and just for a buck. Soon he'll be posting tracks from the up close sessions--when has this been done?? The Listening Lounge has been in the works for almost two years now, and now that it's finally here, it can go far. We picked a good guy to be our favorite guitarist ;)

Think of Unreleased Opium as painting the sky with broad strokes using a huge brush and Unreleased Rhumba as carefuly sketching a portrait. Each is art but the path there is very different.
The electric guitar on Opium is very good. Don't let the chanting munchkin freak you out.

Actually, the chatting munchkin, though surprising at first, admittedly, is among my favorite parts of the song.

That unreleased track from the Opium sessions needed to be heard and played aloud in the car, my favourite space of listening to Ottmar's music. It appeared to be far better than when heard via stick. Opium tone indeed, the monk fitted pretty well.
