Goodbye Jeff
Jeff Bodart past away yesterday the 20th of May , almost 17 years after Dirk Schoufs (that was the 24h of May 1991). He was dead already just before the weekend , his brain wouldn't work but his heart wanted to have a bit more. I'm gonna miss that old pal , who used to bring back Dirk home after a white night , completly drunk but still he would bring him to me. This is why I was happy when he asked Denis to produce his album "Et parfois c'est comme ça".He came a lot to our home in the past 2 years , recording what was going to be his last work.I even ended up doing all the backing vocals , just because they needed a girl's voice and I was there :) But , there was one special song on the album named "Ultra Marine" , that is a bossa , and you guys now how much bossa means to me. I love that song and I think I'll carry on singing it , as long as I live.That will be my little contribution to honor Jeff's memory. You can hear the song on Jeff's page myspace.com/jeffbodartmusic RIP Jeff and please , have a drink with Dirk in heaven

Mediterranean Songs on Itunes
Mediterranean Songs
For the very first time , I'm gonna reissue an album on Itunes only , with a bonus track (Under your closed eyelids , that Denis and I totally re-arranged for the Boondocks new season). Wish me luck , it's the first time I do an "only on line" reissue. We remastered it and I must say this is one my fav record among all I did (with Carpe Diem). Thanks to Martin Hayles , the production sounds amazingly new.There's no drums on the album (it was a concept , I was very conceptual at the time:) and we replaced the drums by percussions and all sort of silly sounds. My top song is Step by Step , I wrote it for my new love of the year (1996) , Elliott , my baby son . Big boy now , here's Elli with his daddy , my men... And we still live those Mediterranean Songs every day

Ministry of sound/The original sound of Ibiza
Camino del sol on this comp :) The Original Sound Of Ibiza - AlfredoIbiza as we know it would not be the same without this man. A Timeless album from an Ibiza legend. The Famous story of three young chaps called Oakenfold, Holloway and Rampling going on holiday to Ibiza and stumbling across Alfredo playing at Amnesia is one of the most important moments in house music history. Alfredo and his sets are the stuff of legend and here he presents us with a piece of musical history. An authentic set of what he was playing in amnesia just before the House Music Explosion happened. Disc One sees an incredible mix of music Starting with Henry Mancini's, Pink Panther, Art of Noise, Yellow Mna, Soul to Soul, Tears for Fears and many more. Disc two is early Acid house all the way featuring such releases from Fingers Inc, Guy Called Gerald, Richie Rich, Joe Smaooth, KC Flight and More. With a 16 page booklet and writing inner sleeve notes buy Bill Brewster this album really is a piece of dance music history. **The Album was mixed with the original Vinyls used in 1987. All Vinyl Crackles are part of the recording and add an honesty to the recorded. Mixed and sounds as intended

Nouvelle Vague presents
Posted by: Andy on Monday, 21st May, 2007 .. end .post-top -->..
the main section of the post goes here
-->
 French trio Nouvelle Vague are well known for their covers of songs by new wave artists. In fact, research shows you're 74% more likely to have heard one of these covers than one of their original songs. So, who better to compile a two disc collection of covers by new wave bands?
Among the twenty four tracks that make up this collection, you'll find an abundance of great songs. There are too many to list but some of the stand-outs include, Satisfaction (I Can't Get Me No) by Devo, Antena's unnerving version of The Boy From Ipanema, Elton Motello's deviant reworking of Ça Plane Pour Moi, Walk On By by The Stranglers, I Heard It Through The Grapevine by The Slits and a live version of The Velvet Underground's Sister Ray from Joy Division.
Nouvelle Vague Presents New Wave is one of those compilations that collects together songs that you probably should out but, for the most part, don't. Therefore, it's less a recommended, more a required purchase.
Label: District 6 Website: www.nouvellesvagues.com Release date: 28th May 2007

Number one in Bossa Nova :)
Current mood: happy
Hello ,
I know it's silly , but it makes me proud !
For the second time in 4 months , Myspace has elected me top artist in Bossa Nova style (as well as 13th in Lounge and 43rd in Jazz) , though I probably don't deserve this , it's a great feeling.
Any success I achieve is really mine , as I don't agree with "Major" companies system and do not work with them anymore , any attempt at maximizing the audience is true.This story is between you and me.
Thank you all
all my love and respect
xxx
