Considering Elko Blijweert's been active in the Belgian music scene for
about fifteen years now, it comes as quite a surprise that "I Bambini Di
Basilisco"is only his first ever solo album. Known mainly for his
virtuoso yet ever idiosyncratic guitar playing, Elko B. treats the
listener to much more than just that. With the exception of the heavily
guitar-driven western pastiche "Cochon Torrero", the emphasis here lies
on dark Carpenteresque synthesizer sounds as well as jolly
child-friendly melodies. The twelve pleasantly concise songs, mainly
based on compositions Blijweert made as soundtrack material for
contemporary dance theatre and children's puppet theatre, beautifully
blend together into a whole as the listener is presented with a unique
glimpse inside the wide-ranging imagery that is Elko B.'s ever-expanding
musical world.
