THE HOTVILL'S - DANCING TIME
From http://the.hotvills.free.fr/pages_e/index.html
MAURICE BAILLY, BERNARD DUBOS, MICHEL EVAIN, three of them have an impressive number of international awards for music. Since their musical studies, they shared a nostalgia for the dance bands of a bygone era, which were in themselves an attraction. They also regretted the disgrace of an instrument which could afford to smile with a certain condescension harmonica. By the merest chance, they also had all three the same "violin" by Ingres: electronics.
Then began the period of research. Tirelessly, they devoted all their energy resources (financial, relational, Etc.. ...), To transform their harmonicas to improve them to create new instruments for new sounds.
It remained to conquer the public. They made careers abroad, performing with success in Warsaw, Moscow, Wien. During the same period, in France they recorded several albums of dance music. c / CBS / VOGUE-(Sony-BMG) - Decca / CARRERE / PSB & ILD.
And we come to a passion shared by these three boys: the Western. They had seen and reviewed all films depicting the epic of those fifty years which is building a new nation west of Mississippi. This passion was born "WESTERN STORY" CROWN IN 1970 BY THE GRAND PRIZE OF DISC Charles Cros Academy.
Follow it until today, special "ZITHER GOLD" by the French Association of Recreational music and Picturesque. The SILVER MEDAL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, by Jacques Chirac, to the representative of France abroad, the degree of "ARTS, SCIENCE, Letrre"
All this is topped by 27 albums, not to mention a considerable number of "single" of film music etc. ... accompanied by the most prestigious French and American musicians. The total Hotvill'S THREE of them, a dozen international prices of Classical Music.
Gotta say, there's some serious grooviness on this album, very much like a lot of those 60's Singapore bands as you can hear here (track from another album)
