One of the best album I discovered in Jamendo.

The sound is great, very original. And the voice is so sweet!

I liked the mix between english french and spanish in the songs.

Very very good job guys!

I have no words to describe this album. Oddly enough, I have seen many records on jamendo described as "Prog rock" by their authors without being even partially progressive, while I would more than happily put this tag here, for what it implies... Wonderful, Creative, Beautiful, Arty... music doesn't gets much better than this.

There is such a palette of musical colors here is outstanding. You have the Beatlesque affair "Barcelona", the King Crimson-like "At Odds", the Radiohead's "Ordinary Day"... there is an art rock wonderful style plaguing all the album not unlike Radiohead's last disks, and a jazz rock sensibility (like Karate or King Crimson) that just took my breath when I listened to the album, and some latin/bossa feel in some songs (that I don't like too much), folk, ambient, postrock... Even though, the sound is extremely creative and original, merging all these influences and surely many others and adding a personal touch I love. The experimentation in sounds, effects and samples is highly rewarding, and the instruments surprises (like the eastern-styled violin of "Ender" -which incidentally brings to my mind "Lark's Tongues in Aspic", or the brass section in some songs) are just a delightful encounter.

The music gets drown a little bit in songs like "Barrio Chino", that remembers me more of Manu Chao and the such... definitely not my kind of music, and IMHO, these musicians can give much MUCH more, although the flute solo returns me to the good mood of the album, the good jazz-indie-art-whatever-rock :D.

Except for the latin/bossa feel, maybe one of the VERY best records I have listened since Radiohead's "Kid A", and if that's not a recommendation, I don't know what is. The recording quality it superb and the playing and effect application is flawless. There is too much in this disk to absorv just with a few listens, it requires more.

I'm not usually much into vocal records, as I prefer instrumental works by far, but here the voices are just so charming and nicely sung... just how I like singing, sweet but strong at the same time. I have been very surprised by this album, a strange discovery in a world full of commercial, banal or mediocre music.

Instant fan.

Fluid is the word for this album - a true masterpiece if I ever heard one. Marvelous vocals and beautiful poetry. This album has been around for a few years but since I have stumbled on it just now and got hooked….

I adored Papillons "…a thousand silver butterflies danced fearless among the waves" was such a beautiful vision that I could forgive the sadness of the story about letting a friend down.

The song "Emma's Bridge" was so unique with the transient sound of the musical instruments playing differing genre's while accompanying the singer who sang in a sultry tone (reminiscent to me of the 1930's cabaret style music).

The Latin Jazz song "Barrio Chino" had a catchy tune sung by an endearing male voice. "Barcelona" was so foot tapping, it was delightful and that wonderful whistling was just the right touch to this tune.

And what was "Ender?"
There was quite the asian flavor to the first section of that song, but its beginning with the radio static and the thousand hammers beating on metal or an exceptionally loud typewriter - and then a beautiful melody and song. It ended the same way it began. I just loved "Ender" - it made me question my sanity. Can that be a good thing?

Also we have these Interludes - three of them altogether. Interesting little pieces, melodious in a devious way. "Ordinary Day" was an incredibly beautiful song with a sweet melody and lovely lyrics. "Running on Empty" was a fantastic finale - I stand and applaud - 'encore, encore. '

I love this album, and the artists' wizardry in using my headphones to manipulate me, my emotions and perceptions; entertaining me with delightful stories; lulling me with beautiful harmony and melodies; amazing me with inventiveness and artistry - this is an album that has it all. One of the very best.

This is finally the great album in the jamendo, this album whiteroom is awesome album. This album is the greatest ever album in the jamendo.

The greatest track in this album is "ender". The track really cool. When I writing this review, I also listen this track ender in the computer.
