Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Yes! I don't see enough people talk about his playing. His solos on The Sky Moves Sideways are beyond amazing; you don't need to play a lot of notes in order to be good.

Thise that did only good albums (but above three)

Out Of Focus
Circus (Swiss)
Noir Désir
Maneige
Mahogany Rush (with Frank Marino)
Nucleus








let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
