The sound, the voice, this album is charming. It takes our souls to another place. The sound has the combination of a desert feeling, oriental music with an awesome voice. Excellent work!

c'est avec plaisir qu'on écoute myriam et sa musique unique sur jamendo; je trouve! mr.mamadou est fan!!! big up et bonne continuation!

I liked "top_miaou" especially when I first listened and looked around for my cat whom I thought was talking to me. I think my favorite was "Himes" for some reason. Maybe because of the tongue and finger clicking, which was interesting. I ended up listening to this album six times through to try to analyze its emotional appeal to me and the style or genre of the pieces. All these songs were on the quiet side and sometimes resided on the 'very strange table of oddities.' I don't think it was the language for me (which again I cannot interpret unless written), but it was the interesting little sounds that would crop up, as if the artist wanted to give you an intimate feel - no - I think its the female voice itself which was being used as an unusual and exotic instrument. The singer will make strange utterances which flows well with the music and captures the interest of the listener and expands on the values and design of the individual songs. This whole style of song is unique to me and I really couldn't quite peg it except to say it is exotic flavored in a very unique way and a little on the dark side. I felt as if there were two entities in the room - this female singer humming, making happy childlike sounds, or a type of ululation, mutterings, echoings, singing, clicking, whatever she wants and the music being the whole other entity. It was hard for my mind to combine the two and make meaning out of the whole. It was actually quite pleasant in a strange way and forced me to think. I would have to say that this isn't relaxing music but rather a type of experimental stuff which forces the participation of the listener. Not a bad idea.

A nice balanced production. I don't understand a word of it but the feel of the music is good and nicely balanced. The instrumentation is exquisite in places. Nice album.

Blequent m'a reccomandé un autre album de Myriam, "Merh Licht",que j'ai bien aimé.. mais je préfére celui-ci que je trouve plus "free",plus experimental... En tout cas, merci à lui, car ,du coup,je vais écouter les autres... C'est un trip!! Trés belle voix,et grande inventivité musicale!

Myriam Matoussi nous immerge dans des architectures musicales diaphanes et fragiles ou son chant s'avère le seul guide. On se perdra un peu, emporté par ses mélopées liquides ou aériennes, et l'on trouveras beaucoup de soi-même que l'on croyait perdu au détours d'atmosphères parfois apaisantes, parfois légèrement inquiétantes, tandis que les improvisations inspirées de Sir Gywo, les accords ethérés de Dreadd restent, pour le navigateur solitaire aventuré sur cet océan sonore, le seul appui, le seul repère mouvant et incertain... Seul regret, certains titres me paraissent beaucoup trop court: 'Vries-grat' et surtout 'Jah Loose'...

de laisser un commentaire :)J'étais persuadée l'avoir fait tant je viens régulièrement sur cette page ^^ Suite à la piqure de rappel de ce jour, je confirme, après énième re-écoute, que j'aime beaucoup cet album dans sa presque totalité (un bémol pour Himes qd même) ... Je trouve l'assemblage de la voix de Myriam Matoussi et des jeux d'instruments surprenants au départ et quasi hypnotiques sur Picou Z Grat... Voilà ! Impair rep(ai)ré et rep(a)ré :)

Pour moi pas de matière,de corps, c'est surement envoutant mais trop pour moi

veramente interessante. trovo che sia un lavoro con belle sonorità e belle armonia. come piace a me. una piccola osservazione, trovo nella voce un timbbro molto melodioso ma, un po troppo lineare. secondo me manca di variazioni di tonalità ma, è solo una mia opinione personale! vraiment intéressant. Je trouve que le travail avec une belle sonorité et une belle harmonie. Je l'aime. une petite remarque, je trouve le timbbro un objet de très mélodieux, mais un peu trop linéaire. Je pense que l'absence de variations de tons, mais ce n'est que mon opinion personnelle!

interesting work
