...international action!

  • the France Report, from Pascal:
"...i can see all the world is playing some Maladroit stuff, but France only [now] starts discovering the Green Album! Indeed, the "island in the sun" single is #24 (1st rock single) and is the most popular rock song of the moment: it is aired on every god***n radio station, BUT, what makes it a clasical rock song, is the constant airing on the [program] called "laugh and songs"! They only play old songs or, if new, songs that are about to turn to classical ranking! So, if your song is played there, [then] it's [considered] a classic....the green album has reached its highest position in the charts this week! it's the #5 rock album! i think it's not about to stop here, and maladroit is out in 2 months!! they may get 2 albums in the charts and that's cool. also the whole press is backing the band :the intellectual press are fans and Rocksound [major music magazine] said it was the "album of the year"
it's cool!..."
