5 out of 5 stars melancholy moods.......2002-09-10

Perry Blake's "Presque Rien" fits perfectly with the film, which if you haven't seen by the way, you must. His voice and beats, with the combination of instruments are haunting, leaving you in a trance, almost in another world; one of beauty yet darkness, peace yet sadness, and overall escape. It's like you're lying on a beach in the middle of nowhere with only the sounds of the ocean and the earth. Perry Blake knows how to strike your emotional chord, and with "Presque Rien" he does just that, leaving you almost overwhelmed with calmness.

The debut album for the UK Perry Blake is a combination of smooth soft and melancolic songs that are a mix of strong emotions. The musics are often sad, slow, but very deep and strong. They may resemble in style Jay Jay Johanson, but in fact they are much more deep and more complex.

If you like moody, soft and deep songs buy this album, altough it is hard to catch the taste of it, but listen first and if you like buy it. It is not listeneable in two or three minutes, it is too complex to do that. Still, a must-buy.
