RIO BRAVO

The Nighthawks are back with their sixth studio album which is entitled 'Rio Bravo'. The title is very suggestive and the music does not disappoint. Dal Martino and Reiner Winterschladen conjure up atmospheric scenes in the listener''''s mind delivering the perfect soundtrack to match the spell-binding images. Music in true Cinemascope. It was not by chance that the Nighthawks story started with a film music assignment in the mid-1990s while Winterschladen and Martino were part of the Cologne-based combo '''Trance Groove''''. With unfailing instinct, they named their new band after Edward Hopper''''s best-known picture. Hopper''''s late night scene, with its compelling light effects and palpable sense of urban isolation, is clearly reflected in the ambient and emotional depths evoked by the Nighthawks'''' impressive ambient, dub, pop and jazz fusion.
