The album name is "Pocket Symphony"?

Is that like "Pocket Pool"? 

John Hiatt sings about it, in reference to the devil playing pocket pool,  waiting for the next poor fool, who forgot that it was Sunday.

I'll bet the types of Jean-Paul Sartre, Althusser and Camus never ate baguettes, escargots or wore berets - that would have been much too gauche. I wonder if they were fond of grenouilles with their absinthe and gauloises, though :o)

Interesting to see that smoking Gauloises and drinking Pernod is "cool" across the channel. Still this tune rocks. Huit points également! ;-)

Was listening for a few minutes without knowing the title of the song, and had a guess this is Air.
Obviously, it is :)
A good thing: these have their style.
A bad one: maybe too repetitive.

Man has this been a weird day at RP or what? The music's been unusually unusual. A lot of stuff I've never heard. Some good, but a lot just nervy. But oh well at least listening to what I don't like makes me understand what I do like. ZEN MOMENTS. This stuff Air is nice, very nice.

Definitely not my favorite genre of music. I was totally prepared not to like, but there is something about this song that makes that impossible. Thanks Bill and Rebecca once again for expanding my horizons.

Right ... You are probably referring to Eulogy ... which, by the way, was recorded over ten years before this.

Excellent opening track from a surprisingly solid album - I find it very hard to pick out any individual tracks, everything flows in unity from one song to another. I find it very pleasant.

Had to figure this new CD from Air would start getting heavy rotation on RP- I grabbed it as soon as it came in- and it is still playing on my car's CD player- it is a gem...

I was waiting so bad for this new work... and I have to tell you that maybe is not as good as talkie walkie.... there are some good songs, but I think only the half of this record is a good job. They're anyway f...ing good musicians!!!!
