Studio album
Released: 1998
Alexander Veljanov has fulfilled a dream that he has carried around with him for many years: With friends and first-class musician colleagues he has recorded an acoustic solo album.
We all know how solo albums of musicians of well-known bands sound in general: just a copy of what they had always done anyway. - Not so with Alexander Veljanov: “Secrets Of The Silver Tongue” neither copies nor competes with other projects he is involved in, like the respected noise electronic eccentrics Deine Lakaien. It doesn’t take anything away from them, on the contrary, it enriches and shows once again another of the unbelievable facets with which the musicians of Deine Lakaien are able to surprise us again and again.
The poetic charm and charisma has remained, the musical expression is new. The sound is down-to-earth, acoustic, straight ahead, and yet somehow pleasantly familiar again. So we old Lakaien fans will also get our money’s worth with this album, if we only - together with Alexander Veljanov - get involved in this new situation.
Production: Dave Young
