Mave's album "Neo Messiah" arose from the ambition to create an album never seen before in pop music. The album is a conception of a special kind - it‘s striking, but at the same time deep-going, it‘s Dance-Pop as well as Classic and entertaining. It‘s not just a compilation of the 10 best songs out of 12 to 15 produced tracks, but it‘s something coherent and non-convertible. The album makes only sense as is.The album has the subtitle “Paying tribute to Georg Friedrich Händel“. Apart from Mave O´Rick‘s 10 own songs, the album contains 13 interludes consisting of the opening symphony and twelve choral singings of the oratorio “Messiah“, composed by Georg Friedrich Händel in 1741. An original recording of the London Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra from 1953 provides a base for the thirteen shortened and remixed interludes.Mave O´Rick‘s 10 own songs are contemporary arias between the Händel interludes. The album is therefore a modern and trendy interpretation of the oratorio “Messiah“, but, at the same time, it keeps the structure of the original. It is supposed to bring a new young audience an understanding of the exceptionally gifted Georg Friedrich Händel. This also explains the album title “Neo Messiah“.Mave's 10 songs deal with topics like church, politics & society, sex & love, war & peace and express his view of things; they admonish, solve and entertain.The album cover exactly reflects the bipolar attributes and aspects like heaven and hell, faith and hatred as well as sex and violence. Mave represents a star emitting rays of light towards all directions. He embodies both parties of the Vietnam war, wears both a Vietnamese hat and a US army badge around his neck. The cross around his neck and the gun in his hand symbolise the polarity of peace & war, love & hatred, faith & power. The hand in his crotch emblematises sex that gets menaced by pointing the gun at the crotch. A further polarity is the huge pair of “pop glasses“, that is a crass opposite to the deep-going cover ideas. Like the cover, the music on the album has deep-going lyrics and a message. Nevertheless, the album is and remains a pop album that is supposed to entertain, to be commercial and striking.Opener, Interludes and Closer remixed by Ian Coleen, by courtesy of Archipel Ltd.
