i just got this release from ludovic navarre the other day. pretty good melange of jazz and electro... well... more house than anything... but i like it. it's easy listening, and gets repetitive here and there, but overall, it's very well put together. navarre actually plays the role of "conductor" with several guest musicians playing with him on the tracks. and on a side note, what's with the metal strip on the inside of the cd? i remember when i bought this cd that the detectors went off as i was leaving the record store... does anyone else have this? :P jon _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

hey i'm glad someone is being responsive to stuff other than the warp drabble. great little album isn't it? i haven't heard navarre's other work but i read somewhere that this is his first release under the St. Germain in 5 years. u might wanna check out the other stuff. about the metal strip... well the cd case is transparent, and it's visible without taking anything apart. i really have no idea what it is... jon

You haven't? His "Boulevard" album from '95 (F Communications) is a mega classic and regarded as a must-have by the more deep- housey set. It's ever so pleasant on a Sunday afternoon sipping cool mixers down by the pool ...

Not to beat this metal strip thing to death but I still don't see it. Did your CD come in a typical jewel case or is it cardboard like mine? Thanks for the Navarre tip. This is my first exposure to him. Any idea what his other stuff is supposed to sound like? - c At 09:49 PM 10/16/2000 -0400, Jonathan Lau wrote:

Nice lp! I was bugging everyone about it a few months ago. You probably have other stuff from him in your collection without even knowing it. I believe he has some other projects on F Communications (FNAC), and goes under Soofle on Fragile. If you like the St Germain lp, there's a pretty decent chance you will like Nuspirit Helsinki on Jazzanova-Compost Records. They also have other release on other labels, but I don't like the others ones nearly as much. Great 12" --- Jonathan Lau <pdb802@hotmail.com> wrote:

They're on the inside of the tray that actually holds the cd. They put them inside so you can't just take the wrapper off to steal cds. The sales associates are supposed to deactivate them before they go into your shopping bag.. but sometimes they don't work according to plan. jimmy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
