The third time is the charme...thatÕs right. Thus, the joy about the third album by Marek Hemmann is huge. Likewise, the third album is perceived as an important brand which ought to show the actual extent of a musicianÕs potential. Either hold oneÕs ground or dare something new? Marek Hemmann is not deterred by such expectations. He was merely in the mood for new tracks. The eight newcomers on ÒMomentsÓ sound accordingly - easygoing, detached and characterised by the same profoundly and harmonically balanced musicality for which Marek Hemmann is world-renowned. Anyhow, a Òjust continue as beforeÓ mentality is not an option for the Berliner by choice - from the beginning, his music effort- lessly blurred the established genre lines. In this vein, his new work is influenced by a great candour. As already accomplished with his highly esteemed albums ÒIn BetweenÓand ÒBittersweetÓ, in ÒMomentsÓ Marek Hem- man takes the listeners - and certainly the dancers - on a journey through different spheres of contemporary electronic music.
