Machine Mass Plays Hendrix is a fascinating record that
captures the excitement of blurring - or ignoring - boundaries.
- Steve Greenley, JazzTimes Magazine

Michel Deliville shares an exploratory and individualistic approach to
his instrument that ensures that this album, and indeed everything he’s
ever been a part of, never falls into cliché, and tackling something as iconic
as the Hendrix songbook takes these timeless songs into a new place,
a place that Jimi would no doubt approve of. Bravo!
- Roger Trenwith, Progressive Aspect

Dear Friends In Music

Jimi Hendrix, one of MoonJune’s honcho Leonardo Pavkovic’ all time favorite musicians for over 4 decades, died 49 years ago (September 18, 1970), but his spirit and his legacy never died and will be forever among us.

A few years ago one of the most recorded MoonJune artists, Belgian guitarist Michel Delville, in company of his colleagues Tiny Bianco on drums and Antoine Guenet on keyboards, made this incredible and truly original tribute to Hendrix. Why bother being a cover band, when, if highly talented and creative, artists can tribute their favorite musicians and their great music in a very different way, reinterpreting the spirit, and not plaing nmore by mote and ryingh to emulate geniuses from the past.

MACHINE MASS ‘Plays Hendrix ‘

Augmented by the addition of the otherworldly talents of young maestro keyboardist, Antoine Guenet (The Wrong Object; Sh.TG.N; Univers Zero), fellow sonic adventurers -- and Machine Mass founders -- guitarist Michel Delville (The Wrong Object; douBt; Alex Maguire Sextet) and drummer Anthony Bianco (douBt; Elton Dean; Dave Liebman) combine forces to steam through a set which provides a refreshing retake of some of the most influential psychedelic rock classics from the '60's that changed the face of music! While the songs reference frameworks familiar to most classic rock aficionados, the comparisons end there: the trio follows flight plans which are uniquely their own, achieving moments stunningly fresh, instinctive, profound and moving. The addition of piano and keyboards to the tracks provides a welcome approach, imploring reharmonizations as well as complete revisions many hipsters, both young and old, will revel in!

In typical Machine Mass fashion, the music thumbs its nose at convention and is unapologetically uninhibited in its delivery. The group pushes boundaries on all front, producing a record that is as fascinating from a tonal / textural perspective as it is from the 'harmonic rethink' and the mass of corporate liberties taken within the song structures, respectively.

Machine Mass' "Plays Hendrix" is an engrossing, brilliantly conceived retake on some of rock's most adventurous classic moments; a quintessential album for fans of rock, psychedelic and progressive, alike.
