Just a brief note to thank all of you that are keeping this group going!  I enjoy putting it together and reading other people's thoughts on Daniel Lanois, what he does and how he influences the world around us.  Please keep the thoughts coming; at this point topics are wide open since we don't have a whole lot of traffic going.

Merci pour la belle page
(thanks for this great page),

					I live in Montreal, quebec and work in the music and 
showbusiness industry... That looks so serious! Anyway i had a 
chance to talk with Russel, the bassist in the canadian band 
Junkhouse. He was coming back from California where he had just 
recorded a movie soundtrack with Daniel Lanois. I don't remember the 
name of the movie (sorry!) but i know it is supposed to come out 
this summer... Russel also told me Daniel was working on a new solo 
album.
											I just thought you would be interested!
												A bientot!

Well, now that the Lucious Jackson CD is in the can, what's next for DL?  We 
were at the Emmylou show in NJ last Dec.
Bruce was in the audience. There was a rumor that DL and Springsteen were in 
discussions about a joint project. Any truth and/or embellishments to this 
rumor?

Subject: Lanois' 12-track?  Slightly techno-geek questions -- beware!!  :)

There was an article that I read about DL in "Home and Studio Recording"
quite a few years back that stated that he did a lot of his initial guitars
on an Akai 12-track, and eventually transferred them to 24-track, and some of
those guitar instrumentals that he recorded on the Akai formed the basis for
what became his first solo album.  I was wondering if anyone knew what songs
those were, whether he still has the 12-track or not, and exactly which
12-track it was (Akai made the MG1212, MG1214, 14D rackmount, and a digital
machine called the A-DAM).  I record on a 12-track myself, so I am especially
curious!  My guess is that it would be the analogue rackmount version so he
could use his own mic preamps, but he may have used the digital for this as
well.  Does he still use this machine?  Thanks!

Unfortunately no direct Lanois news, but I (finally!) picked up the 
new Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan CD (Night Song) and I have to say that it
has knocked Emmylou's CD out of the top spot of my "Greatest albums 
ever made" list - at least for now... :)  

Michael Brook worked on this one and it is SO VERY Lanois-esque in 
some parts it's scary.  Beautiful, beautiful music, and of course 
Nusrat's voice is incredible. I'd HIGHLY suggest checking this one
out - especially those who are apprehensive about checking out some
world music. This might even get you to try some of Nusrat's more
traditional stuff! :)  

I bought it on the last day of my vacation and listened to it while
driving back home through Utah/Arizona - no traffic, the moon lighting
the already eerie Monument Valley, stars... Beautiful!
