5.0 out of 5 stars honest roots rock, dark, sincere and uplifting, April 6, 2002

I feel that few rock albums have achieved the overall quality of this one. Victor offers a very mature effort that should especially appeal to fans of Neil Young, Cracker or Wilco. His lyrics are honest and reflective. He easily goes from the country-ish roots rock of the title track into some mellower acoustic numbers, reaches a dark, rocking climax in "Not Coming Back"(featuring some excellent violin playing by Jonathan Segel, that seems to speak louder than the lyrics, emotionally). The album concludes with the excellent existential rock of "Rocket Fuel" and a beautifully touching "Maybe A True Love"(a duet with a woman named Carla Bozulich, whose voice simply fits perfectly.)
There isn't a bad song on here. I try, but my descriptions cannot really convey the strength of the songs on "Bittersweet". ... This music deserves a wider audience.

I have almost 2,000 CD's and BITTERSWEET ranks in my all time top 10. I have been listening to this CD since it came out. I highly recommend everyone going to [...] and order "Sans Soleil" by Victor. It is only available direct from the label, run by Jonathan Segel and Victor. It is a limited edition of 500 copies of covers and outakes. It is also hand signed and numbered. The best thing is that it only costs $[...] postage included. I would have paid twice that amount or more.
