(Fusion) Marko Ramljak Band - Mindset - 2015, FLAC (tracks), lossless

Fairy tale! Already with the first strings this music will take the listener to flight to some other cultures, worldviewers, religions, the sides of the world ... In fact, the whole album is a fairy-tale journey. In the art of violinist Marko Ramljak, who, although best known for his collaboration with Gibonni, has achieved a respectable independent career, there is room for everyone, open minds, ready to travel, get acquainted with new, different. Such a stance towards music also shows the titles of some songs, such as Universal Language, Sailing Dream and Two Worlds. Ramljak is the author of all the songs on the album that give the artist an unusual gift to create simple but striking, clear, logical, memorable musical motifs. Through all his works, he feels his tendency towards jazz rock, but also world music, including the traditional music of Dalmatia in which he grew up, but each piece is of a different character, making the album interesting and keeping the attention of the listener. He also feels the rich experience he has learned to play with the many musicians of these idioms, though he does not absorb inspiration from music alone. They, first and foremost, derive from life.
Bajkovito! Već s prvim taktovima ova će glazba slušatelja povesti na let prema nekim drugim kulturama, svjetonazorima, religijama, stranama svijeta... U stvari, cijeli je album bajkovito putovanje. U umjetnosti violinista Marka Ramljaka koji je, iako je najpoznatiji po suradnji s Gibonnijem, ostvario zavidnu samostalnu karijeru, ima mjesta za sve, za sve one otvorena duha, spremne na putovanje, upoznavanje s novim, drukčijim. Takav stav prema glazbi iskazuje i naslovima nekih skladbi, primjerice Universal Language, Sailing Dream i Two Worlds. Ramljak je autor svih skladbi na albumu koje odaju umjetnika neobičnog dara stvaranja jednostavnih ali upečatljivih, jasnih, logičnih, pamtljivih glazbenih motiva. Kroz sva djela osjeća se njegovu sklonost prema jazz rocku, ali i world musicu, uključujući i tradicijsku glazbu Dalmacije u kojoj je odrastao, no svaka je skladba drukčijeg karaktera što album čini zanimljivim i drži pažnju slušatelja. Osjeća se i bogato iskustvo što ga je stjecao svirajući s mnogobrojnim glazbenicima tih idioma, iako nadahnuća ne upija samo iz glazbe. Njih, prije svega, crpi iz života.
