It's summer, 30 degrees in the shades, you're driving your car slowly with open windows along the seaside. Then this is the music to play. Makes you happy.

I love the opening to this track. A little soft, then the voice hits in. Perfect for all Sunny days.

I was searching for something to play on our way to Italia. Found this (among other things). Nice guy form Languedoc-Roussillon, also a holiday destination from the past years

Primal Scream, anybody?

Fantastic for people with a broad taste. Ranges from the copper driven opener via the favorite opera-esque "Vultures" to some Beefheart and ultimately free-jazz. A feast for the ear.

I didn't know something could sound folky and jazzy at the same time, but Billy can. That's prog, I suppose. Album gets even better the more you listen to it, Folky scenes interluded with adventurous intersections. And of course the beautifull vocals by Martine. Billy gets his inspiration from the same source Andy Tillison (the Tangent) does, but handles it in a totally different manner. Love this.

You get what's it called: a blessed unrest. Only play this after midnight, lamps low. The music isn't loud, but full of tension. Good if you like to trigger your darker moods.

Pogues meet Waits on this album. A bit dark, a bit melancholic, but also making you want to jump across the room.

Awesome album! Perfect, as far as perfect is a recommandation for you. Considering the opinion that every good song must have an “oddity” to make it real good…these songs have that extra, but it’s very discreet, because it’s so incorporated in the songs.
The whole sounds like a spring day, inviting you to enjoy the world that surrounds you, the sky in particular, of course, wheter it is by day or night.
Again: wonderful, worth to listen to any time of the day.
