Seems it's in fact a 2008 release.

Where in France did you find it, which store?
I'm asking cause I'll ask someone in my family there ( they're in Paris) to buy it for me.

As I've probably mentioned it already, Jean Louis's album is my pick for 2009.  You should all try and check it out.

I love miRthkon's Vehicle so much.  I distanced myself from it awhile back just cuz I was having a difficult time wrapping my head around it.  I came back today, and, while i still can't wrap my head around it and probably never will, I'm just constantly enthralled by each audial inch.  It feels like such a cohesive bunch of songs, all of them with their own aspects but with many connecting threads: for example, you can separate/group them in ways such as this:

totally f**kin awesome songs about animals or edible plants:

1. Banana
2. Coven of Coyotes
3. Honey Key Jamboree

baaaanaaanaaaaa

BTW there is another cat recording on this album (but its another cat named Frida - as Frida Calo she was extremely talented and gifted dispite her  poor physical state this one eyed limp little mischief  gave poor old  Ginger a hard time ) Both are gone now in cat heaven I suppose these days no cats but to wonderful baby girls Nice :) Wonderful Story! Please tell Kerman to join Progarchives too... :)

You can try and persuade him yourself since he is often posting in the Progressive Ears forum (along with many other musicians from all walks of prog rock; Bob Drake for instance is also there, and there are many others).

News literally just in!
