“Studio tinkerer Mandoki insists on the highest quality: with analog signal processing throughout, from microphone to vinyl pressing, this production is an example of precision and passion. This dedication can be heard in every collective note and in every solo.”
-AUDIO+stereoplay
“Featuring a who’s who of prog, jazz and rock luminaries, “A Memory of Our Future” doesn’t just bridge stylistic boundaries — it blows them up entirely.”
-The Prog Report
“Through his activities as a musician, producer, studio owner or committed commentator on socio-political contexts, one runs the risk of overlooking the fact that Leslie Mandoki has formed a magnificent band with his Soulmates, which has now presented its masterpiece.”
– MusikWoche 19/2024
In celebration of the release of A Memory Of My Future that was recorded in a complete analog fashion, Mandoki Soulmates present a new video for their latest single A Memory Of My Future – a profound journey of self-discovery and reflection, where memories mix with hopes and dreams.
Leslie Mandoki reflects:
“This song is about our idealism, we children of Woodstock, and about our disappointment. This is what I call in the song our “toxic sadness,” and “defeat in victory.” What a victory it was in 1989 that the wall came down in Berlin. We could have built a human paradise…..
This is a memory of our future.” [su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFdvH_CcfQE “]In addition, Mandoki Soulmates celebrate their album release by representing diversity at the world’s leading audio trade fair HIGH END in Munich from May 9th to 12th at the MOC Munich. The trade fair organizer HIGH END SOCIETY Service GmbH is embarking on a new path of cooperation with world-famous artists, and The Mandoki Soulmates will emphasize this year’s motto of the trade fair “Long live diversity in audio”.
