Having attracted attention rather as a producer (Doris Decker, Fred Adrett) and live percussionist (Soulounge) as yet, Max O. Menos actually has been an active multi-instrumentalist and singer for quite a while, too. Being early influenced by non-European music (Africa, Asia, South America …), he first released an album with multi-faceted early-nineties funk («Zhouy At The Zoo»), then melted African and Indian singings with modern electronic beats, and now releases his album «All The Best!». Electro-acoustic songs from a decade and a half, with subtle 60s reminiscences, composed, recorded, played, and sung solo. From groove to smoove, from Beatlesque to Balladesque. Listen to more Max O.
