Dinner At The Thompson's - Lifetime On Planet Earth - 4 July 2007

The Franco-American duo Dinner At The Thompson’s release
their first opus “Lifetime On Planet Earth". The smooth
and sensual grain of Lucille’s voice mixes with Fablive’s
productions, an eclectic concoction of acoustic soul,
jazz, electro-funk creations, and audacious break-beats. A
sound that leaves much to reflect on for the musically
adept, but most of all that blows you away with its
finesse and sincerity - definite chemistry ! The stories
Lucille tells through her lyrics, a blend of urban poetry
and existential reflections, comment on beginnings, on
endings, on life experienced; a natural, warm voice that
will nourish the finest of gourmets. Colored with subtle
bits of sampling and live instrumental recordings, their
musical world is also inspired by the acoustics and rhythm
in Afro-beat. The album was conceived to give a warm
feeling, a rarity in today’s often over-produced-sounding
albums. Fablive brings rap, soul, and electro into real
time - fresh, delicate, and rough all at once. It isn’t
surprising that “Lifetime On Planet Earth", after being
mixed in France, was mastered by Dave Cooley, the
craftsman of all the Stones Throw projects ! The purists
will be appreciative…but they won’t be the only ones ! All
the dance floor lovers will relate. And you can be sure
that they’ll be getting down too ! / “A show that is rare
today, fresh, surprising… a live in crescendo that brings
us from jazz to funky-electro break-beats-that’s what
we’re talking about ! Not to be missed. ” THE GOODTIMES
(C.A. Journal) / ” It’s been a long time since I heard an
album as original as this!… beats that make you want to
bounce, and a voice that makes you melt. ” PHARCYDE (Hip
Hop Group, L.A.) / ” I’m digging this sound! We don’t know
if it’ programmed or played… it’ real groove ! ” LEE
FIELDS (Among the kings of funk)
