5 out of 5 stars Scusa, chi 'e??.......2001-10-13

I was in a small disc shop in Bologna Italy march of 2000. My mother had come to visit and I was showing her what I had been doing the last few months. the proprieter was playing this cd, I immedialty purchased it and have loved it ever since.
It is serene and deep. A thinking persons album and something safe enough to sleep by.

5 out of 5 stars A truly brilliant album!.......2001-07-03

I first heard this album about half a year ago at a friend's place. I hadn't heard of the Montgolfier Brothers before, but I think I did recognize the 'Low Tide' song, which is my alltime favorite.

It's a shame that these artists are not widely known yet! I had a very hard time finding the album. Even the file-sharing networks ... didn't help out...

I'm not sure about what to compare this music to, but if you like whacky artists like Moondog, like I do, you'll sure like this one.

This album oughta be a must-have for every self-respecting music lover!

5 out of 5 stars Last days of music selling...or a new hope for the winter.......2001-02-27

When I first heard the MONTGOLFIER BROTHERS I was still working in a record shop. I worked in record shops for eight years in my hometown of Porto, Portugal. I came across their album by chance. It had a real mysterious cover, different from the american edition and in the interior ( like all the great records )it didn't give many clues about the music or their wherabouts. So, I took a good time playing it and ( like all the great records )it grew at every new time I listened.

The sound remind me of 80's band, The DURUTTI COLUMN, mixed with the melancholy of another british band, the BLUE NILE.

The MONTGOLFIER BROTHERS come from a place where it's always sunset and the days are of a nostalgic longing of the past. Sometimes it reminds me of "fado" ( a portuguese kind of music ) if it could be played in acoustic six string guitars with lyrics about a trip in France or..."always the first to leave..."

In the first years of record selling, every new record had lots of chances of becoming a "classic" in my collection. It was then when I discovered the Live At Sin-e and the first TINDERSTICKS album.
