DESCRIPTION:
"Nomad Songs" is the essence of Micatone, it is more mature and versatile than its predecessors. It has an effortless simplicity, a timeless approach to express only what is necessary to make the point. Micatone are a band. Unlike the first two records, which were more beat and drum programmed, Micatone have recorded all instruments live, also the drums. By doing so, they create a special roughness, an organic warmth, which also communicates their splendid interaction as a band.

While the first two albums were a respectable combination of club- and home-listening-music, "Nomad Songs" takes this blend to perfection. Micatone write universal songs. The question simply never arises whether or not a song was composed for dance floor pleasures or mattress matters. The choice is yours. The musical styles vary from Tortoise-esque production references ("Where I Am Pt. 2"), Reggae rhythms like "Trouble Boy" (with a little MC help from Demba of German Reggae band "Seeed"), bittersweet ballads ("Where I Am" & "You've Taken All") to folkloristic excursions ("Nomad" & "Mars Reprise") and sing-alongs like "Circle", "Out Of The Game" and the album single "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (That's The Way It Goes)".

Overall "Nomad Songs" purely speaks for itself and therefore from the musicians' hearts. It is an impressive evidence of Micatone's ability and talent to perform as a band in the studio, and on stage.
