Captain Europe is the second album from Hess Is More - founded and directed by the Danish artist Mikkel Hess.
2005 was the year when the Hess Is More live band really took off, presenting the music from the album "Tip Top Dynamo" in a line of festival performances that blew away audiences as well as critics in and outside DK. Furthermore in 2005 the discerning DJ’s around the globe has playlisted the single Walk song into an underground cult hit. Now Hess presents the follow up as a European captain, ready to conquer new territory.
On the second track, "Yes Boss", the scene is set in a recording studio, and as the dialogue between the producer Hess and the irresistible female vocalist Bang Chau develops, the temperature rises... "Farfisa Rumba" has grown directly from the sound of the Hess Is More live band, suggesting a fresh, surprising and very groovy club sound, and promises are made:"I won't necessarily massage your feet, but I'll give you what you don't even know that you need" "The magic invention from t.d.p.r.c." features Hess as a hypnotic lead vocalist on a bouncy and funky beat, and as a special bonus, there's a most spectacular videotrack available for this song on the CD. The video was directed by the NYC based Frederik Jacobi, who apart from this, and the earlier Hess Is More video for "Walksong", also recently shot a Wyclef Jean video in Haiti.
