Beautiful isle

I know I'm not supposed to listen to this yet but...
The first thing that comes to mind while listening to an unfinished copy of the Momus and Anne Laplantine upcoming collaboration Summerisle is: beautiful. It's not 'good', it's not 'great', it's not 'interesting', it's just beautiful. The way sounds are mixed, the acoustic feeling, the vocals... waoo. Impressive. Spin Thread Annie (which you can hear on the Momus radio) is maybe one of the most beautiful Momus song ever: it's perfect, and SO different from anything he has ever done before... An important release to watch for in 2004.
I'm so happy that Momus and Toog are doing such different albums for 2004... I can't wait to hear the Robert and Midori collaboration too ! It's all about working with other people I guess.
