The wonderful charm of the music
author: Lincoln Scorsoni
His songs are striking. Impossible to remain indifferent. ''Deserts'' cause a vibration so powerful that snatches. You can hear countless times that do not get sick. Spectacular !

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.
