When i first tried this album on my computer as i always does it sounded awful . I was sure that something had gone wrong when making this cd . I put it in a box and started to write / follow the instruktions for returning an item . But before i was finish i tried it on my hifi system . It sounded wonderful ! . My system ( Hegel / B&W and Audioquest ) are wery sensetive about the hifi quality . The songs and the recording quality are very good on this cd . I can recomend it !

Either Daniel Lanois has fluked the fact that every album he's produced for a major league wash-up has been a collossal return to form, or he's got something special (a little "je ne sais quoi", peut-etre?) in his locker. Robbie Robertson, Peter Gabriel, U2 and Bob Dylan have all released remarkably good records - even for them - out of the blue with Me Lanois at the helm. In each case, production has been a definite strength of the record.
So with a solo album from le directeur himself, you'd think, you'd be able to tell sheep from goat pretty quickly. Sans major-leaguer, Lanois the fluker would be miserably exposed.
Well - and, bear in mind, this is his second outing - he isn't. On the contrary, this is a great record. A low key affair, for sure - it never breaks into much more than a gentle trot, and you could never say that it *rocked*, as such - but it's engaging, beautifully textured, innovative, and in refusing to wheel in major league guest stars, or even sing in English much of the time, Lanois embues it with a definite sense of "fous-moi le camp", which is never a bad thing.
I'm not sure it needed the (undeniably appealing but nonetheless) gratuitous cover, although for those poor Americans, decorum is retained courtesy of a judiciously placed legend declaring that they have purchased the "American Edition". Ha!
Well worth a spin.

Fantastic vocals, guitar playing, rhythms and effects. Varied styles including ethnic. Sings some in French. Fab. Buy it!
