Simply Marvelous!!! Music like this is rare to find. Wish there was more!!

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 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

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.
