Lavant, Denis & Lionel Martin & Jean-Jacques Birge - Les Dements (2CD)

The album begins in the fiery Balkan landscapes, on a "Macadam Road," an idea of home that moves forward toward freedom, love, and the peace of finding an "inner voice." There is a beautiful balance between groove-driven passages, lyrical melodies, and the use of sound spaces. This is an album that portrays an artist who has found himself, a voice that has no need or desire to hide from anyone or anything.
