I was writing something about him; I decide to check if there’s already something out there, and guess what I find... The album I’m working on is the one in collaboration with Diabate: "In The Heart Of The Moon," just the one you mentioned. ;-)

This one is not "the son of...", but rather "a son of..."! :-)

The ultimate expression of Canada as a new frontier of quality pop. Within the large collective, there are also members of the previously reviewed Stars, The Dears, as well as the captivating presence of Feist.

From the North the light... I will search for it. Do you happen to know Tord Gustavsen Trio "Changing Places" with a more jazz-oriented style, still ECM?

Good thing I checked! I was starting a review that already exists. Few admirers, though. What a shame.

I cherish this vinyl, a gift for my 15th birthday (speaking of forty-somethings...). I confess I didn't love this album right away. The official critics have never been kind to ELO either, only to later reassess them, as often happens. Over the years, especially compared to today's pop nonsense, it has carved out a place as a minor classic, I agree with Grass on that. In their older production, there are albums to rediscover, like "Eldorado." Anyway, the last train to London always passes by here; it always follows the same route, like those from Lima, but it takes you far away, much farther... ;-) P.S. For the score, I copy and paste Grass.

Aware of the risk of being lynched by the hordes of metalheads who now, legitimately, "control large swathes of the free territory of debaser," I have long wanted to review what I consider one of the best albums of the '90s, the one that opens the decade for dance music and all the crossovers to come, "Club Classic Vol. 1." It’s not to say that I won’t... I've even found someone willing to sacrifice themselves with me for the cause. ;-) "A happy face, a funkin' bass for a lovely race...", thus spoke Jazzie B.
