Falik's Revenge

The third track from Falik's 2008 "Falik's Revenge", entitled “You Gotta Have Goals”, brings you up to date with Charlie’s current frame of mind. Feeling battered by the emotional storm, you’re given a sardonic glimpse at what it’s like to be in his shoes, his everyday fears, as well as his aspirations. The six-plus minute track unrolls as a BritPop fusion gem, complete with a fuzz bass solo. Read more on Last.fm.

Falik is New Planet Blues, cross-grenre electronica for dance and mood utilizing middle eastern modalities featuring Charlie Pecot on the Irish bouzouki, guitar, bass, hand drum, and the occasional vocal. After decades of being a multi-instrumentalist Falik began when Charlie purchased an Irish bouzouki in 2000, playing at Renaissance faires and in belly dance troupes. He immediately began writing and recording material which ultimately culminated in his first release, Streaks and Strokes, in 2003, which consisted of 12 of his most favorite tracks. This CD was pivotol to Charlie's musical growth as it demonstrated to his fans that, yes, even though he was using an ethnic instrument he could in fact make it rock, and do so in a way that did not alienate those used to a more traditional approach to ethnic instruments. His success continues to grow with every new release. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
