Restating the Obvious

Avoid the candles

One of these days, I tell myself, I will get around to doing a post on cdbaby.com, where you can find music difficult to find elsewhere, like Circus Contraption. (As I write this I'm listening to "Shneykoyl," a klezmer piece from Circus Contraption's latest, "The Half-Wit's Descent.")

Till then, here's part of a review I found of "Noel des Anges," a Christmas album by L'Accroche-Choeur, a Swiss ensemble.

"Much more than a simple Christmas carols record, this CD is an original gift to offer and look at, since unfolded and avoided of a simple candle, it is transformed ingeniously into Lantern of Christmas, true object of decoration."

A machine translation, it turns out. Thankfully, the folks at CD Baby also include the original French:

"Bien plus que des chants à écouter, ce CD est un cadeau original à offrir et à regarder, puisque déplié et paré d'une simple bougie, il se transforme ingénieusement en Lanterne de Noël, véritable objet de décoration."
