When you are blue,
The anguish comes to heart more closer,
Then listen to pulsations
This world and you are living in them.

What are the reasons we love Frank Van Bogaert’ s music ? Is it because it is very melodious & excellently composed or the fact that the music of this Belgian composer is always varried & genuine ? Yes,but his creative work attracts me mostly because life gushes in Frank Van Bogaert’ s compositions. His music possesses a mighty inspired male origin which is always in perpetual motion and carries the listeners with it, spurring them to follow the composer’ s creative conception with unflagging interest.

The "One Out of Five" album includes compositions chosen from Frank’ s five previous solo albums . One can really find the composer’ s best pieces on it. I would call the composition "Rorogwela", based on a Solomon Islands’ folk melody ,a real highlight of the album (this tune is also known under the name "Sweet Lullaby" performed by "Deep Forest"). In my opinion the interpretation of this theme by the Belgian composer is more interesting & profound than that which is done by the famous "Deep Forest".

The "One Out of Five" album is characterized by well selected compositions. Besides it is full of energy. Advisedly Frank Van Bogaert did not include previously unreleased tracks. He wanted to present a retrospective of his creative work just to give his listeners the opportunity to enjoy the best compositions chosen from all preceding albums. And this is quite a success. The compositions of this outstanding composer & performer make "One Out of Five" a more than 77 minutes lasting experience of listening pleasure !

I would like to mention one more important particular feature of Frank Van Bogaert’ s music. Being very powerful and intense his music also has a romantic flair. It reflects a mature person standing strong in this world. .

What more can be said? This album should be in the collection of everybody who loves modern electronic music.

Just having seen the beauty of the earthly world
You try yourself to give your love to it
Then you will feel its love sent in return…
