Album Description
Soel is Pascal Ohse, trumpeter extraordinaire for Ludovic Navarre of St Germain fame, and Memento is the St Germain - produced debut album for this contemporary jazz genre-buster. Mixing jazz, funk, soul, hip hop, house, dub, electro and a world vibe, all influenced by '70s film noir, Memento offers chill-out sensuality in a time of sound and fury for the legions of fans who took St Germain's landmark album Boulevard to #1 Con- temporary Jazz and Tourist to the Top 20.
Album Description
The first album from St. Germain's trumpeter mixes various styles of funk, soul, house, dub, & electro influenced by the 'film noir' movies of the 70s. Nine tracks. Digipak. Warner Jazz France. 2003.

 "produced by st. germain" caught my eye... March 1, 2005

first off, this isnt 'genre-busting'... i dont know where i'd go to classify this, but it's earthy, full and rich... very layered and has a lovingly nappy texture. organic.
if i still believed in 'neo-soul' then i'd say that this would either be 'the origin of it' or the 'elevation' to it... guess that jus makes it 'soulful'... not as 'jazz heavy' as what you might expect coming from the st. germaine camp...
ummmmm, soel's album is comparable to archie shepp's 'attica blues'... contemporary to groups such as fertile ground, the pharaohs (extinct early 70's souljazz group/the roots of earth, wind and fire), gil scott-heron, alice coltrane...
or imagine if cinematic orchestra, roy ayers, isaac hayes , george clinton and fela kuti all came together to create an album...
...yeah, that might define it for me...
i buy 5 to 8 cds a month, at least, and this will go down as one of my top ten purchases for 2005... a great weekend album to lounge around with cultured friends.
peace yall,
dirtyboy.

Another stellar release from Ludovic Navarre of St. Germain fame and acclaim. This album continues with a fresh new sound mixing jazz, old 70's style funk, a little hip hop, and a world vibe together into a very solid enjoyable jazzy mix.I found myself listening to this one over and over, which is rare for me. It's really good and highly recommended. A note though - you should be able to find it cheaper out there than the horrendous overprice listed here.

This album involves various styles, but most of the tracks are a blend of 70s-everything. Tracks 3 and 5 are perfect for intimate moments with another human being. Highly emotional atmospheres!

The name is different but the music is the same,maybe less electronics.St.Germain produces this work of Pascal Ohse and other members of his group in Tourist.A must-have for Ludovic Navarre's music fans.

I've never been disappointed by anything St.Germain ties its name to and this is no exception. The soulful refs and jazzy waves this CD puts out has your whole body move'n and grooven. It's good at the desk, it's good at rest, it's good in bed, it's good in your head. The Dr. say's buy and you will like it. I heard it first on the sky radio.
