5.0 out of 5 stars L'album qui m'a fait aimer la musique québecoise..., May 14, 2002

By A Customer

Il n'y a pas vraiment de mots pour décrire l'album. Il faut absolument l'écouter, ne serait-ce qu'une seule chanson, pour voir tout le talent de cet artiste. C'est un plaisir, sans cesse renouveler, à écouter. Ma chaine stéréo ne dérougit pas de faire jouer cet album merveilleux. Je ne croyais pas que la musique québecoise pouvait m'emporter autant que ça. C'est une musique qui transporte littéralement dans un autre monde, sans pour autant nous dépaysager complètement et sans plonger dans le n'importe quoi! Une composition musical enivrante et des textes songés et vrai! Chapeau!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ethereal and intelligent listen, February 5, 2004

By	ms maggi "DJ & Good Vibe Fairy" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I first heard this c.d. while eating breakfast in a funky hostel in the south of Spain. Daniel's incredible vocals and beautifully-crafted music magnetically drew me in. I immediatley asked the barista to write down the title for me. Months later, I finally found the scrap of paper and ordered the c.d. Aaaaahhh, turn it way up and slip away into a dreamy bliss! "Chante Encore" and "Te Quitter" are my favorite tracks and those two ALONE make the c.d. worthwhile. Beauty and mystique just effervesce from these eloquent and romanticly-versed French lyrics. Oooh..La-La!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tastes like poutine, September 3, 2003

By	Clint Fleming (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

I heard this album last week when I was in Quebec and had to purchase it before leaving. Difficult to catagorize, but definately some permutation of downtempo. Poor french skills allow me to decipher only a fraction of the lyrics, but that allows them to form part of the sound instead of taking center stage or overpowering the music. A very relaxing and melodic vibe permeates the album while incoporating lyrics, acoustic instruments and the usual suspects of downtempo sound. Not exactly sure why the other reviewers mention trip hop as none of those beats or rhythm arrangements are present, but it is a trippy combination for sure. Definately worth picking up, but a shame there are no downloadable tracks available at present in order to sample this unique Quebecois flavor.
