Señor Coconut, the man of a thousand aliases, has struck again and amazed everyone once more. Following
El Baile Alemán (dedicated to the German Electro pioneers Kraftwerk),
Fiesta Songs (a joyful collection of popular songs including "Smooth Operator",
"Beat It", "Smoke on the Water") and Yellow Fever (a tribute to his Japanese fellow musicians of the Yellow Magic Orchestra) here comes his fourth trick, which Coconut has worked on for almost a year in real and virtual studios.
Around the World would actually be a simple pop album if it was not for el Señor, alias Atom™: he is just not interested in the easy route! For
Around the World, Señor Coconut has again conjured 'Electrolatino' songs from international hits ("Sweet Dreams", "Corcovado", "Kiss", "Da Da Da"...). And once more, he first recorded the big band with which he has been bringing his concepts to the stage on rapturously received tours for many years, in order to then take the recordings apart in his own studio in Santiago de Chile, reassemble them, surgically process each track, and inject that special Coconut magic. Atom™ has again adopted the perspective of an alien who, from Chile, his distant orbit, perceives the world as a remote place and not as his place of origin. The track
"Around the World" by the French band Daft Punk is the common thread that unifies the album: electronica which is put back on its acoustic feet, because
Señor Coconut’s creative process is no one-way street.
