Maikal X's name might not ring a bell yet, but you might know Michael Parkinson from his time with Postmen, when he performed under the pseudonyms Shyrock and Rocka Rolla (since their dissolution Postmen was reduced to a one-man act around Remon Stotijn aka The Anonymous Mis and the band's name was changed to Postman). With 'Genesis', recorded for Berteaut 'Mr. Rude' Fleming's Rock 'N Vibes label (see also Ziggi Recado), Maikal X delivers his solo debut. 'Genesis' is an extremely enjoyable album with a mix of new roots and lovers rock. A special mention has to go to his reggae-interpretation of the Hall & Oates classic 'Maneater', but the duets with Irie Love and Peetah Morgan also stand out. X-cellent album!
