Le barbu fait son cinéma

Please excuse the French title, I´m just trying to be cool here.
A couple of years ago I had a small blog post on Sebastien Tellier, who was going to play the Bergenfest festival in May 2008. Tellier was compared to Robert Wyatt on the festival´s own site, and take a look in Le Matin (2 July), and see Tellier claim that Robert Wyatt´s "Rock Bottom" is the best album ever! (At least according to my French!).
"Grâce à vos parents vous avez baigné dans un univers musical onirique. Ils écoutaient Pink Floyd, King Crimson. Vous citez volontiers «Rock Bottom» de Robert Wyatt.
Le plus grand album de tous les temps. Avant, il me suivait tous les jours. Désormais, j'ai du mal à l'écouter, il est si triste et profond."
