English translation of the Dutch article:
| Poesie Noire: "Hum And Haw" |
| "What to do with paths that are already made? Walk on them in your own way is the only way. That's the problem of Poesie Noire. Synthesizer-Rhythmbox-wave or something like that, fact is that being original is pretty difficult. The Gioconda Smile was their debut, so we forgave them easily,but with a second mini-album the expectations are higher. And those expectations are only for a part fulfilled.On one hand the production is better,is Poesie Noire much more convincing and are the compositions more mature. But on the other hand a "i heard this before feeling" comes over me,especially when the compositions are weaker. Hans Maarten Post |
