Search - Michel Montecrossa :: Eternal Circle - Michel sings Bob Dylan

Is this a joke??

"Michel's voice is OK, but the interpretation of Dylan's songs, and the sonic mess that Montecrossa conjours up, is totally ludicrous. Chicago public radio has a 5 minute show each week (anything more than 5 minutes would be cruel and unusual punishment) called "The Annoying Music Show," for which all songs here (and on all other Montecrossa recordings) would be prime fare.There is nothing redeeming here due to Montecrossa's bland singing style and the over-wrought synthesized production. It sounds like Peter Frampton meets Tubular Bells. Don't bother."

"?Eternal Circle' by Michel Montecrossa is a fantastic interpretation of rare as well as famous Bob Dylan songs. I am thrilled by the electrifying and poetic atmosphere of the whole production. It is highly creative and up to date giving the songs a new and future oriented life. Michel Montecrossa has a profoundly expressive and multidimensional voice and way of singing. The instrumentation and the skill of performance is simply great - totally fresh, exciting and inspired.
Michel Montecrossa today is the most important Bob Dylan interpret. He has released by now 10 CDs with Bob Dylan songs each of superb quality and unique.
Michel Montecrossa is simply super and a richly creative man for today and the future.
Michel Montecrossa's Bob Dylan CDs contain also MPEG-Movies and some songs of related artists including himself which widen the understanding and appreciation of Bob Dylan's songs in a touching way, putting them into the context of ongoing intelligent music."
