REVIEWS :

[…snipped from a larger review…] Wisely programmed last in the order is “Morning High,” a ’95 duet with Patti Smith featuring music by Bill Laswell, guitar by Smith’s regular collaborator Oliver Ray, and the words of shared lit hero Arthur Rimbaud. Smith’s English is echoed in French, and as it unfolds the beauty of Descloux’s bohemian essence shines brilliantly.
