The Armstrong Mutations


Question: How does Flat Earth Society takes hold on the music of Louis Armstrong? Eighteen white zulu's straight from the Belgian jungle meet the big black smurf from perdido-black and blue. The darkness, the blues, the funeral and the streetparade, the inbouncable vitality, the gospel, the golden intros, the evergreens and the jungle-jazz. Satchmo, the macho, the intaking, the outtaking, the angular, the raging, the sentimental, the groweer, wornout, unheard-old cadillacs never die. His godly guds burst, and like an alien, FES force themselves a way out and bothers without shame all the rooftiles.

Question is also: How does Armstrong takes hold on the music of Flat Earth Society?
After thirteen Armstrong-mutations, only FES remains and carries on.

'The Armstrong Mutations' is a project of 'Ancienne Belgique' and went into premiere on the 30th of August during ' Boterhammen in de stad'. The cd was recorded the end of Novermber 2002, in studio Dada in Brussels under the expert knowledge of Pierre Vervloesem, who also  finalized the cd.
