Lors du premier confinement, en mars 2020, nombre de musiciens se sont retrouvés avec beaucoup de temps libre et en ont profité pour faire le point sur leur travail. Ce fut mon cas. Ainsi, j’ai redécouvert dans mes archives des enregistrements datant de 2007 joués par mon trio avec Christian (Pabœuf) et Christiane (Bopp). Ces enregistrements n’avaient pas été choisis pour figurer sur le CD “des enfants” sorti en 2012. Certains de ces morceaux avaient eu une seconde chance et avaient été ré-enregistrés pour le CD “Temporäre”, sorti lui, en 2011 ! Vous suivez ? Des séances “Temporäre”, il me restait aussi Inter-urbain, morceau que je n’avais pas jugé opportun d’intégrer dans le CD...

During the first lockdown, in March 2020, many musicians found themselves with a lot of free time and took the opportunity to take stock of their work. This was my case. Thus, I rediscovered in my archives recordings dating from 2007 played by my trio with Christian (Pabœuf) and Christiane (Bopp). These recordings had not been chosen to appear on the CD "des enfants" released in 2012. Some of these pieces had a second chance and were recorded again for the CD "Temporäre", released in 2011 ! Do you follow? From the "Temporäre" sessions, I also had Inter-urbain, a track that I had not considered appropriate to include on the CD...
During the second lockdown, in November 2020, many musicians found themselves with a lot of free time and took, once again, the opportunity to take stock of their work. This was my case. But this time, I decided to publish these forgotten takes.

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk
This item was on my extensive wishlist for a long time, somewhere in the bottom half named "forgotten, not forlorn". When it recently appeared on Alan Benjamin's wishlist, I was reminded of this cruel fact. Actually, many of the fans I'm following on Bandcamp, renowned for their excellent taste in music, already purchased it long ago, which unmistakeably says something about the quality of this album. Moreover, it's from the Italian "AltrOck Productions" label, which offers a hefty catalog of superb releases. Should I write more? Well, yes, of course... Fans of complex 70's vintage music employing huge stacks of keyboards will have a lot of fun with this gem from France created by Fabrice Chouette, Patrick Dufour, and Frédéric Chaput. OK, this should suffice. Now listen... and buy... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

I feel like the COVID pandemic allowed/forced Dave to really think through and seriously polish his ideas. The songs here all feel so complete, sophisticated, and fully realized--moreso than the previous Manna / Mirage releases. While I've been loving these releases since 2015s Blue Dogs, this is the one I will be listening to the most ten years down the road. GREAT collaborations from all guests and great compositions/ideas from the playful brain of Dave Newhouse. Well done! wafiii
