.................and while we are talking about Yann Tiersen!

Here is the site for the guy who wrote the film music for both Amelie and Goodbye Lenin ( as well as other cds as you can here on his website using this link.I strongly recommend you have a listen both to his soundtrack work and especially Le Moulin off the Amelie Soundtrack and La Dispute from the cd Le Phare:

This is where you can sample his music

GOOD BYE, LENIN!

This is an excellent movie which I would recommend to any body to have a watch of.

Daniel Brühl does a lovely performance as a young man desperately trying to keep the old DDR alive and ticking for his ailing mother (Katrin Saß).

Music from Yann Tiersen provides the idea background for what is a lovely film which paints a vivid picture of a country undergoing change as well as making you laugh. DVD is out now in most retailers and the soundtrack is well worth a listen especially if you liked Amelie.

Amestoy Trio: Le Fil

This really was a lovely find for me last year and is one of my favourite non Jazz CDs at the moment. It is a unique LP that is truly original in its setting. For many people who have heard it when at my house the response has been either surprise or a keener interest. It can be hard to find on the high street but a little searching will find it on the web.
