ooh-la-la, ThaT iGGy!
i got a hold of a pre-release copy of this (from Ground Control) and on just one listening must say i love this new direction he's going in. (just another reason for me to obsess about France, too!) i'm going to check the book he mentions out of my library. only one copy in the entire Contra Costa County library system and it's sitting on the shelf in Hercules.
