Orkney: Symphony Of The Magnetic North (The Magnetic North) #NNR7
This album is at once as monumental as a menhir and as intimate as the unspoken. Each mound speaks to every inch of skin, each wave to every thought, each note to every step, and the whole delights the heart just as much as the mind. It is grand and beautiful, subtle and deeply human. Perfectly unclassifiable, with its classical elements blended with electronic music and the folk sounds of the vast northern moors, "Orkney: Symphony Of The Magnetic North" takes its place here

Volatil (Zazie)
Impossible pour Zazie, depuis plus de 30 ans, de ne pas se faire la chambre d'écho d'un monde qui ne se contente pas de l'entourer, mais l'enserre, l'étouffe.

Ce qui vibre alors est poésie, intime ou plurielle, sombre et caustique souvent, mais toujours libre, comm
