Nino Moschella - The Fix Does anyone know this guy? I just came across this review in my TV mag and then listened to snippets of this CD on www.allmusic.com. Sounds great! Does anyone know anything about him or have this album?
The vibe is very funky, sparse, definitely Sly Stone influenced. | |

Leading off with “Better Off”, Nino plays almost all the instruments (as with most of his tracks) and makes most of the noises from drums to beat boxing. It’s a minimal production keeping only the most essential elements in a bass-line driven rock n’soul style. On “Are You For Real” lo-fi stoner grooves on top are backdrop for Moschella who starts off subtle in falsetto but slowly builds to climatic scream. And on “Believe In Yourself” he adds a little gospel to the mix with a trippy organ section mid-way through.
The Fix album continues the EP’s fusion of genres and eras. With one foot firmly planted in the present Moschella’s musical mash-up is also a reminder that there were days when bands like Jimi Hendrix played on the same bill as Led Zepplin, The Grateful Dead and Sly and The Family Stone. On The Fix he has found his own way of blending rock, soul, and funk and blurring the lines between electronic and acoustic music. | |
