Sinister: Angels of Scotland and Paris unite (and take over)

Hello everyone :)

Stéphane has wrote the perfect letter about the Paris concert. That was
exactly what I thought after it. I was quite happy that evening and
they made me feel happier.
Joyful indeed.
And, yes, angelic...

Angels, angels... that's the right word. The *only* word.

Mmmmm... Bernard Lenoir said yesterday he had heard that the session
was better than the concert. I don't know. I don't care. The fact is
that
they played without touching the ground. Hey ! Angels have no soul :
only 
thrilling cristal voices and wings. They played in the air, and they
took us (well,
me at least and Stéphane apparently) with them away.

They sang a delightful version of "Lazy line painter Jane" -- quite
laidback and joyful, with a brilliant, warm, blazing, noisy final.
Actually
I made the wish before the gig that they'd play it... I tell you
they're angels...

I really appreciated the audience too. Respectful, silent, but very
enthusiast as well. I mean, the gig was absolutely not a religious
moment. We just showed *respect*. I truly think something happened 
between them and us. We compelled them to be less shy that night, I
think.

However I disagree with Stéphane about the venue. To me La Cigale is the
perfect one. Not too big, not too small -- and lovely (it's my fave
here).
Just *perfect*.

BUT... why don't they play much longer ? 15 songs, 1 hour and 10
minutes, no
encores, that's very disappointing and maybe a bit (I dare !)
scornful. I
don't mean they are so, but that it's their behaviour that is. I 
mean,
they're so rare and they know so much that they are...

I'd like to thank Stéphane for having give me a copy of a little wonder
called "Tigermilk" too. I wish I could have given him the tape of the
session
he asked me (I'm feeling so bad for that !) and talked more to him. He
was so busy that I just had time to say hello... But the delightful
girl I was with and me agree to say he looks adorable.
Pour une prochaine fois, peut-être...

Love and kisses to everyone,
Julien.
