"One of the pioneers of 80's samba-based music, Isabelle Antena always delighted with her releases on the magical Belgium label Les Disques du Crepuscule. I live in hope of someone reissuing CDs of the records she released as "Antena" in the early 80's, especially the divine "Camino Del Sol" ep. This album is one of her solo releases and one of the things that makes her work so interesting is the way she tries her hand at a variety of styles - for example: 70's Disco ("Sois Pop"), and pop ("Play Back"). There is a strong 1980's sound on this CD which dates the release a little, but don't let that put you off if such things do. Aquipped with a warm, beautiful voice and a great ear for pop music, the sun-shines through on all the tracks. En Cavale is a treat."
