BMG’s new imprint Modern Recordings are to release atmospheric new album SulaMadiana by Mino Cinelu and Nils Petter Molvær on 21 August. Look for title track ’SulaMadiana’ to be released as a single on 24 July. The album title takes its name from Sula, the island off the west coast of Norway where Molvær is from, and Madiana, a synonym for Martinique, where Cinelu’s father comes from. The album pays tribute to Manu Dibango, Tony Allen and Jimmy Cobb, all recently departed.
How do you create an entire world from nothing but tones, sounds and rhythms? A world full ofwidth and depth, full of colors, movements and manifestations, with different temperatures and divergent courses of time. On “SulaMadiana”, it only takes two musicians to form such a world. Nils Petter Molvær and Mino Cinelu both came a long way until their meeting became inevitable.Cinelu gained international renown on Miles Davis’ albums such as “We Want Miles” or “Amandla”.
It is his percussive storytelling in particular which gave these records their mystical depth and spatial transparency. He has worked on several recordings from Weather Report, and, until recently, with the long term prog institution “Gong”. Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Sting, Santana, Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson all made use of his skills. His CD “Quest Journey” (2002) comes across like a collection of gripping short films. In 1995, together with Dave Holland and Kevin Eubanks, he had already sparked the magic of a complete sound world once before.
