Sometimes nice things happen when you buy on the internet. I ordered L'Abandon on amazon but hadn't realised I was buying directly from the artist - until I got the cd and found that it had been signed with a message to me, complete with a note written on the outside of the shipping bag (sorry for delay! i hope you like it. M) and a DISSARD return address in Paris. The music itself is good, too - atmospheric, heavy-feeling and concerned more with dynamic and mood than melody, but still completely listenable.
