comments on Pip’s 30th (!) album Every City :

"Could serve to restore sophisticated music's good name... Quietly magnificent, soul refreshing - a treasure" - Bob Bryden

"Every City is so great. I think Light and Fire is my favourite but that could change after a few more playthroughs. Well done sir. Fantastic!" - Bayne McLaughlan

"unique, accomplished, appealing, and gathers a lot of forces" - Secretary Pfistermeister;

" the cool cosmopolitan vibe of Philip Pip Kummel" - Edgar Breau (Simply Saucer).

The record takes the listener on an hour-long journey.
While not a concept album, Every City’s sixteen songs take you on a voyage from the beginning hooks through some more intensive terrain and also ballads.
Then, following the rock steady message of hope, there comes the gateway sound sculpture piece leading to the pair of contemplative compositions that bring the musical journey to a close.

So listening to the record in one sitting brings extra insight and enjoyment. But one song at a time also works!

On this album there are lots of guitars, horns, harmonies, surprises, comfort, rhythmic interest, and of course plenty of melody.

This is my Sgt. Pepper, my 9th symphony, my Aja, my Bryter Layter.
It is also musically unique and the culmination of decades of work leading up to reaching my artistic potential.

Thanks for listening and downloading !
