I stumbled upon Florent Pagny’s voice on a drive through France in 1997 and quickly picked up Savoir Aimer, produced in that same year. I still listen with appreciation. (more…)

The thing that most amazes me about this dark, Goth, extraordinarily bizarre band’s albums is how much (almost joyful) energy penetrates their sound and how sane they all sound in the program notes. Yet there is here also sorrow and a mind dancing with the possibility of losing itself. (more…)
