PRODUCT DETAILS
Details: Far from being Dominique Dalcan's first collaboration, he crossed paths with Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, French singer Camille, international designer Matali Crasset, British remixers Autreche, Belgian golden globe award-winning film director Alain Berliner, and many more. For over three decades, he has established himself as a free-spirited performer on the French music scene. His blend of organic and the synthetic sounds carved him his place under the sun of French Touch' golden age, under the name Snooze. Then, tightening his focus on the "Temperance" project, he earned a Victoire in the electronic music category in 2018 (French Grammy). Already wandering through the concept of territory, building a bridge between nature and technology, the album was about "the fear of stagnation and unwillingness to seek oneself further of musicians", and the need to "keep some kind of candid soul while challenging your perceptions". The result is a body of work as varied as it's audience. Far from resting on his laurels, he then adds sound installations to his body of work. Last Night a Woman Saved My Life: a title that resonates beyond wordplay and simple reference. Women are the future of men. Facing such a chaotic world, music escapes conflict, it's gathering and bonding qualities fly high above human experience. Overcoming distances of all kind, these powerful female voices land perfectly on Dominique Dalcan's music to create a unique space of shared experience and freedom. The Algerian diva Souad Massi, the Syrian jazz girl Lynn Adib and Persian singers Parisa & Rezvan Zahedi, sometimes overcoming distances or technical difficulties by recording vocal notes on their phones, they manage to communicate their powerful inner visions. Also collaborating on the record are Dina El Wedidi, a star in her motherland of Egypt, as well as Tunisian citharist and vocalist Hend Zouari. Introducing as well the promising young Sudanese singer Sulafa Elyas, the brilliant Franco-Syrian flautist Naïssam Jalal, and one of Morocco's finest vocalists Meryem Aboulouafa. Not forgetting Dominique's compatriot Yara Lapidus and Bernadette Yammine, who cultivates Arabo-Andalusian music made in Lebanon. From western minimalism to eastern lyricism. "Neither hi-fi nor lo-fi, just contemporary", sums up it's author, aiming to challenge the traditional oriental music framework, making eleven tracks of pure solar pop music, using the hypnotic nature of instruments such as oud and qanun. This record is a soft healing process made of makeshift frontiers, subliminal cultural heritage inviting intimacy with things bigger than us. It's above all, a confluence of stellar and unique singers and musicians, all meeting in the instant of these songs.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
