True Color City (March, 02, 2013)Tom Kelly’s Music Factory’s last album «True Color City» is the first album after four years. Tom Kelly and Armand Volker have taken their time to embark, once again, on a new direction in their musical work. «Repetitions are not a desirable goal and are, from the artist’s point of view, rather counterproductive» - this seems to be Tom Kelly’s Music Factory’s approved maxim. Music, and art in general, has to develop and cannot be geared to a formula that has formerly been successful. Therefore, the new album is a further – and risky - development and a consequent continuation of Tom Kelly’s Music Factory’s former albums, somewhat harder than the four predecessors, but with a fantastic sound that seems to be three-dimensional here and there and is full of drive. Like all of the band’s musical productions this album testifies of the high standard both in its compositions and in its arrangements. Each of Tom Kelly’s Music Factory’s albums, from «Sciopadroxiu» to «Nights & Pearls», «Leaving the Past», «Pictures of Nature», and «True Color City», have got their unique and personal sound. This attests to a concept, and not to a accidental development, and it’s the precondition for creating a total work of art, and not just single hits or hit albums. - Though it wouldn’t be honest to affirm that a possible success shouldn’t be welcome… Nevertheless, the latter shouldn’t have the biggest priority in musical terms. From the cover to the booklet (which in some stores can be downloaded), «True Color City» is available only in a digital version and, like its predecessors, cannot be bought on a physical sound carrier.
