3 stars I've always thought that it is most important when compiling a music CD to have a strong start and a strong finish. And this album succeeds at both. The two parts of Museum was a wise choice for Patrick Broguiere to open and close this album. With heavy symphonic overtones, these tracks give the listener a good feeling.

Inbetween, the music is less spectacular. Some of it is okay, with sounds that could be incidental music from a renaissance period movie. But much of the album doesn't fare well, coming dangerously close to new age. And Ceci N'est Pas Un Braque is simply annoying, sounding like Euro-disco.

But there is enough listenable music for me to just barely give it three stars.
