About Me

I was born in the seventies... lots of things happened back then...
In music ... it was the era of progressive rock when Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Pink Floyd were heard in radios and at concerts.
In the cinema ... there was Star Wars, the science fantasy saga that captured viewers all over the world.
In science ... there was a shift from the classical linear approach to science to a more non-linear dynamic approach... chaos theory became very popular amongst scientists. This decade was also known for the launch of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to study and take photographs of other planets in our solar system.
In technology ... the 70s was the era of the modern computer when the world's first general microprocessor came out and personal computers such as Apple II, TRS-80, Commodore PET, Atari 400/800 and NEC PC-8801 first entered households and offices. It was also the time when we started seeing pocket calculators. In addition, it was when video games were born, along with fibre optics, microwave ovens and cassettes.
What else?... I was born !

Sophe Lux - Target MarketEasy Rider
I consider Sophe Lux as one of the most innovative bands today. To be honest they don't bring me back to the seventies but to the eighties and in particular to Kate Bush. But... who cares? Their sound and music are simply great! Enjoy the Target Market video.Easy Rider is the late 1960s "road film" tale of a search for freedom (or the illusion of freedom) in a conformist and corrupt America, in the midst of paranoia, bigotry and violence. Here it is the sad ending sequence... ending of an epoch.
