Barbara Morgenstern and Robert Lippok
Tesri
Monika

Barbara Morgenstern and Robert Lippok (also of To Rococo Rot) have made an album called Tesri which is a Turkish word meaning to accelerate. Mostly instrumental, it still feels rich in texture and detail. On "Kaitusburi" vocalist Mieko Shimozo adds a sweet flavor to the soft groove.

"Sommer" paints a vision of lazy days with a neat piano part and some deft programming. "If the Day remains unspoken for" features Damon Aaron on vocals and he sings beautifully. "Winter" closes the album allowing the duo to create a bubbly yet melancholy song. "Tesri" is a fine album.
