THE VOLUNTEERED SLAVES
SPACEshipone

Fifth recording session for Olivier Temime's band and also the idea of a musical comeback launched into orbit.

Meanwhile, the Aix-en-Provence native takes his whole crew into space for a highly recommended journey, far less expensive than those organized by a handful of eccentrics lately. Because it bears repeating, you feel good, very comfortable even, at the center of this whirlwind, a kind of happy roller coaster that takes the form of a harmonious fusion of jazz and funk. Thus, everyone can easily follow the path to vast spaces where energy flows at high speed.

This impeccably efficient fuel works equally well for upbeat compositions that make you want to get up and dance, as for a few weightless ballads, necessary pauses before a new flight. Like "Laika," a tribute to the first dog in space during the Sputnik 2 mission, which sounds a bit like a melodic nod to "Naima"... Or even "You" and its ethereal, synthesized vocals.

TELERAMA

TTTT

"Temime fits as much into a Coltrane lineage as into something else entirely, where groove and pleasure, the joys of the body and of the moment reign with a quiet confidence.

A morning album full of energy, vibrant spirit, and conquering ambitions.

CITIZEN JAZZ

"A flawless rhythm, running like clockwork - celestial of course, but what does the time matter, here there is neither day nor night, just a poetic time that stretches out in a very sensual way; one wishes it would never stop running."
