Steven Brown, výrazná umelecká osobnosť, spoluzakladateľ legendárnych Tuxedomoon, si tento rok pripomenie svojich sedem krížikov novým sólovým albumom "El hombre invisible", ktorým sa po dlhých rokoch vracia na scénu a súdiac podľa prvej ochutnávky, singlu "Warning", je v naozaj skvelej forme! "Pán muzikant" je živým dôkazom, že vek je len číslo. "El hombre invisible" je hypnotická zbierka piesní, inšpirovaná jeho životom v Mexiku, kde žije už veľkú časť svojho života.
El Hombre Invisible is centered around Steven"s emblematic vocals, melodies & lyrics, set in an intimate environment, with sparse elegant, arrangements for guitar, bass, occasional horns, and of course Mr Brown"s trademark piano & saxophone playing. The atmosphere and lyrics of the songs reflect some of the experiences & impressions gathered in the course of these latest 28 years, which have included earthquakes, a kidnapping, rubbing shoulders with the Zapatistas in Chiapas, being confronted with the still omnipresent traces of the Spanish conquest five centuries ago (and the effects of "The Most Dangerous Book In The World", which guided the conquistadores" steps), Steven"s years of working as a cultural activist, and his enduring love for the general beauty of the nature and the people in his new hometown of Oaxaca.
