My album “Textures” is doing very well on the Jamendo website. In fact, it has only been properly available for about two days, but in that time I have received almost glowing reviews from the listeners. The only problem is that both were reviews were written in French and I am hardly a francophiliac, but I gleaned the darkest corners of me nogging for some rudimentary French and I think they enjoyed what they heard. This is what was written:

A prmeière vue : 49 minutes, ça aurait pu me décourager mais je me suis dit “je vais écouter un morceau” et je verrais bien ! Eh bien, je n’ai pas décroché et j’ai continuer à écouter tout l’album ! C’est, un peu un “tout en un”. C’est-à-dire qu’il y a beaucoup de styles sur une même piste : électro, techno, rock, poprock, hardrock, rocktechno, funk… C’est un savoureux mélange de pkusieurs styles et qui est gravé dans la durée. A noter, il y a de bonnes transitions entre les styles. On peut passer d’un style ytechno dynamique à un style électro doux et moi, je ne m’en suis a peine rendu compte car on est absorbé par la musique ! C’est très bien ! Bon travail !

Meanwhile, David Aubrun could only muster:

Tres bon concept. Merci pour ce voyage

Anyhow, both comments gave my deflated ego a much needed boost. It is good to see that this music is being appreciated. Again, the album is literally being downloaded by the bucketload, but I don’t seem to be getting much feedback. I was kinda expecting the odd email or something, but I guess that is the nature of the beast. The Internet is a cold and cruel place where people take the goodies and run…
Today, I took down the Christmas decorations and packed them away. Two sets of lights gave up the ghost, their fuses blown and the spares already used. It was the bin for them, which was a shame because they were bright and colourful, but at least they gave about five years good service. The house looks empty and sad without the festive decor…the good times have gone…roll on the Spring and the brighter weather.
