Re: A little French and some other recent reviews

Ted requested a translation of the following:

Ted Killian - Flux Aeterna - 1 CD pfMentum CD 007

pfMentum s'impose depuis plusieurs années maintenant 
comme la structure à suivre dans le milieu des musiques 
créatives. Label d'où sont sorti quelques opus majeurs 
(Ganz Andere, Hear. or what, Asphalt Buddhas ou Pith Balls 
and Inclined Planes), pfMentum propose aussi de pénétrer 
plus largement dans cet univers particulier par l'intermédiaire 
d'un site web (www.newcreativemusic.com) qui regroupe tout 
un ensemble de textes, interviews ou essais qui facilitent 
l'accès de l'auditeur à cette musique. Ted Killian est sans 
doute peu connu en Europe. Guitariste-poète, sa musique 
impose un rythme et un souffle d'une grande fraîcheur. 
Sur cet album le musicien réunit dix de ses compositions 
qui participent toutes à la construction d'un espace sombre 
fait de questionnements et de réflexion mais dont l'issue 
reste l'espoir.

My French is not the best, but here goes:

"Ted Killian - Flux Aeterna - 1 CD pfMentum CD 007

pfMentum asserts itself now after several years as a format to follow in 
creative music.  The label where the kind of great works such as Ganz 
Andere, Hear. or what, Asphalt Buddhas or Pith Balls 
and Inclined Planes have been released, pfMentum wishes also to penetrate 
deeper into that particular universe through a web site, 
(www.newcreativemusic.com) which gathers together a collection of texts, 
interviews and essays that make this music more accessible to the 
listener. 

Ted Killian is without a doubt little known in Europe.  A guitarist-poet, 
his music offers a rhythm and a great breath of freshness.  In this album 
the musician presents ten of his compositions which combine to create a 
gloomy space of questions and reflection, but where there's also a window 
of hope."

Congratulations, Ted, on the very nice review(s)!  Let me know when you 
get one in Hindi and I'll be happy to give it a go ;-)
