notes
Nomads is Frank’s sixth album (if you don’t count “One ouf of Five “,the best of ).
This must be Frank’s mile stone to this date. He worked 2 years on this album and the sonic richness is second to none. This masterpiece puts him once more on top of the melodic electronic music scene.
Here we have a man that not only makes the music, he feels it, breaths it, lives it.
An impressive statement that will stand the test of time. Come and listen to it yourself. This might be the best thing that will happen to you in 2007.
Van Bogaert’s music is a breath of fresh air !

Nomads earns my highest recommendation
author: Bill BinkelmanBack in 2002, when Frank released Human, I reviewed it stating that "I believe Human is Frank Van Bogaert's best recording by far..." Now, I find myself having to write the same words! Nomads is a stunning achievement and surely must cement this artist’s reputation as one of the premier players in the EM genre. Okay, Frank, just don't top this CD with your next one or what the hell will I write then? In all seriousness, Nomads earns my highest recommendation with no reservations whatsoever.2007 Bill Binkelman,New age reporter
Nomads is a complete package
author: Phil DerbyFresh on the heels of his greatest hits collection is a CD of all-new material by Frank Van Bogaert fresh from his studio in Belgium. Majestic melodies are again on full display in tracks like “Crack The Blue Sky” already seemingly destined for a position on the next retrospective CD. A haunting wind begins the title track before dramatic symphonic sounds take over. Once again Van Bogaert shows he is unparalleled in building intricate pieces that weave symphony and synthesizer into one. His musicianship particularly shines on “Aquatopia”, with beautiful piano playing amidst dark synth textures, much like Patrick O’Hearn but clearly Van Bogaert’s own, particularly as it builds toward the end. “High” is a wonderful showcase of the breadth of his talent, from the quiet atmospheric beginning to one of my favorite bits of sequencing ever, a cool percussion loop. This is followed by an impressive array of beautifully layered sounds and themes, all done in under five minutes; a marvelously intricate yet accessible piece. “Mont Blanc” is a cool subdued moody number, as is “Blue Down There”. Between the two is the catchiest tune of all, the radio-friendly “Drive”. And if the music weren’t enough, special mention absolutely must be made of the fantastic booklet with breathtaking photos and digital artwork by the incomparable Pablo Magne. Nomads is a complete package. 2007. Phil Derby / Electroambient Space
This album is Frank's masterpiece
author: Paul RijkensBelgian composer, keyboardplayer, producer and soundengineer Frank Van Bogaert is a masterful creator of warm, sensitive, romantic, symphonic and hypnotising electronic music. Nomads, his sixth album (if you don’t count “One out of Five” the best of album) must be Frank’s mile stone to this date. He worked 2 years on this album and the sonic richness is second to none. Sounddesign is an important part in Frank’s music. Every sound on “Nomads” is thought of carefully and recorded in the best possible way. “The making of this album proved to be more challenging than any previous release I’ve done…”, Frank says in the sleeve notes. Indeed, “Nomads” has become an impressive musical journey taking the listener to different but well defined places. Pablo Magne, designer of the sleeve artwork felt very inspired by Frank’s music which is showcased in the beautiful 12 page booklet. From the symphonic “Crack The Blue Sky”, “Nomads”, “Ritual”, “Aquatopia” and “Mont Blanc” (perhaps the best two tracks on the CD in which Frank shows his skills on the piano), the slightly jazzy “Furious Jam”, the rhythmic “High” and “Drive”, the soft “Blue Down There” to the closing ambient track “Beneath The Ice” with an intense atmosphere, every piece on this album has its own special story, sound and image. It has been said and written before: Frank’s music stands out of the crowd. On “Nomads” he has surpassed everything he has done so far. This album is Frank’s masterpiece and puts him once more on top of the contemporary electronic music scene. Paul Rijkens, iOPages, The Netherlands
