This CD from Grimoon has 12 tracks listed of melodic lovely grooviness that seems with enchanting French-lyric vocals (when they sing the song title for \u201cSuper 8\u201d track 7 it sounds like they\u2019re saying \u2018super wait\u2019) and hypnotic drums. The beat and rhythm of this music is wholly engrossing and invites the listener to delve deeper and deeper. There\u2019s some great sad\/sweet strains from a violin and cello in more than one of the songs. Although I don\u2019t get the lyrics I enjoyed the way the music of each succeeding song contributes to the whole as it all builds to a crescendo and then tapers off, leaving a satisfied feeling at the end. Producer of the CD Scott Mercado accompanies the band as a guest on keys (meaning keyboard?) on \u201cMille Lumieres,\u201d guitar on \u201cMelodie,\u201d drums and piano on \u201cLa Maison du Photographe\u201d (or \u201cthe house of the photographer\u201d is what I think that means). The DVD here has a play filmed with actors speaking  I think Italian and some German on a spare stage in a small theater. Neera, the female protagonist, appears to die in one scene. But I didn\u2019t understand what was said, so&#8230; The art work layout for the CD\/DVD package was made by Mercado\u2019s bandmate from Mr Tube &#038; The Flying Objects, Pall Jenkins, out of original paintings by Alessandro Fiori. So those two gents, Mercado and Jenkins, are the local tie-ins and why you\u2019re lucky enough to be reading about this band right now and why I\u2019m lucky to have a review copy of this package. Get yours when Grimoon tours through San Diego, Mercado will be on drums, and plays The Casbah on November 13th!
