High quality melodic electronic music

notes

With five highly succesful albums to his credit, Frank has become one of the leading names in today's melodic electronic music.
Many reviewers concider him to be Vangelis' follow up,although he doesn't like to be compared with the Greek artist,it is obvious that both belong to the same "melodic and symphonic" school.
"One out of Five" is a "best selection" out of his five albums .

  • An album no self-respecting EM fan should be without
    author: Carl Jenkinson

    Frank Van Bogaert's 'best of' entitled "One Out Of Five" brings together tracks from all his albums to date (as chosen by various admirers of his work). Such is Frank's mastery and skill that this was always going to be an essential album, proving once again that here is the man who stole Vangelis' crown (a well-used comparison that Frank refers to in the detailed sleevenotes!) and with so many wonderful pieces of music to his credit, surely nobody can doubt that he is a worthy successor to the Greek maestro, in fact, this is a virtually faultless collection of music which, along with the excellent artwork & a nice booklet makes this an album that no self-respecting EM fan should be without.

  • I don't believe anyone can learn to create music as beautiful as this,it's a gif
    author: Dave Law

    I often lump albums together under the melodic / rhythmic banner. What I tend to mean by this is music which is accessible, that even your friends might like, without compromising on sound Electronic Music credentials. Frank Van Bogaert fits that description perfectly. This is a ‘Best Of’ budget priced (at least at the time of writing this) compilation that well showcases this fantastically talented musician / tunesmith and as such is a perfect way of sampling his work. Everything on this album is all so tuneful but also easy to get on with. I don’t believe anyone can learn to create music as beautiful and ‘stay in the head’ as this. It is a gift that few have but boy does Frank have it! The lucky sod. (c) Dave Law,SMD Magazine,UK

  • 77 minutes of high quality instrumental music to get acquainted with this great
    author: Luc Descamps

    Does Belgium has its own Vangelis? No doubt that this is a quote quite some people would like to make fun of… until they hear this compilation of Frank van Bogaert’s music. Loyal to his own work and regardless of any ‘commercial law’ whatsoever Frank has chosen only to put his own un-remixed material from former cd’s on this album. The result is a very well balanced compilation showing the most precious songs he’s ever published. The composer goes far beyond the endless repetitive sounds that are so characteristic for a lot of ambient music and proves that electronic music is still alive. The music breathes a dreamy, exotic atmosphere, often supported by very driven percussion, going from soft and intimate to vast and magisterial. Especially in this latter range of sounds Frank reminds a lot of Vangelis without bringing a lesser quality than the master in this genre. Just listen to the first two tracks to understand what I’m talking about. Choosing between Frank’s five albums is a difficult thing to do, but now the composer offers us the ideal solution; 77 minutes of high quality instrumental music to get acquainted with this great talent within the electronic genre.

  • For those who still don't have music of Frank,this is a great buy !

    FRANK VAN BOGAERT One Out Of Five CD, Groove Unlimited, 2005. Since his first solo album “Colours” in 1998 ,Belgian composer, keyboardplayer and producer Frank Van Bogaert has grown into one of the most important players of melodical EM. Up till now he has released five albums: “Colours” (1998), “Geographic” (1999), “Docking” (2000), “Human” (2002) and “Closer” (2004). “One Out Of Five” is a compilation-cd presenting a very solid overview of what these albums have to offer. The CD is meant to be an introduction to Frank’s music; this is why no “previously unreleased” tracks have been added. Frank loves a big and symphonic sound, which is one of the reasons that his music is often compared to that of Vangelis. For instance, the album opens with an almost Byzantine atmosphere in “Human”. Melody is very important in Frank’s music. These melodies often have a slight euphoric undertone, like in highlights as “Deserts”, “Ballet”, “Violet” and “Atmospheric Conditions”. The cd is compiled in an excellent way, especially since it did not fail to incorporate Frank’s ethnic influences (“Rorogwela”, “Home By The Sea”, “Geographic”), as well as his pieces reflecting more intimate moments (“Falling Leaves”, “Blue” and the wonderful pianopiece “Earth”).”. For those who still don’t have music of Frank in their CD –case this is a great buy! And this is also definitely true for those who already have all of his cd’s in their possession. Paul Rijkens.
