【Product Information】
A Belgian musician, perhaps like Philip Glass or Ryuichi Sakamoto. This album, "A Man Of No Fortune & With A Name To Come," released in 1986, features music combining piano and falsetto vocals with a Durutti Column-esque sensibility. As the credits say "Dedicated to my father," it seems to be themed around personal nostalgia, and it's a work filled with heartfelt melodies. He is a "unique" (lol) individual who transitioned from a political scientist to a music university and became one of Europe's leading musicologists, publishing specialized books analyzing American minimal music. However, due to his musical inclinations, he is often mentioned alongside artists from labels like Les Disques du Crépuscule and Cherry Red (this work was also released by Crépuscule), and while he is a strict "professor" at a music university, his works are widely accepted.
