Daniel Lanois is a true teacher, and a living legend. I remember of him just like this because I was in the audience when he played in Athens, Greece, around that time (1993-1994) on a July afternoon and I had the chance to meet him in person for a minute or two, enough to find out he's a Virgo with his natal Sun in conjuction with Saturn in Libra. Actually I am a writer and I dedicated one of my poems to this man depicting him as the "mage of the tribe". I believe in him, he's so quiet and explosive, "expressive" being an understatement. In 2003 when I returned home after a travel abroad to find out if a true love really existed there for me, this true teacher healed me with his "Shine" album he released that very year. "Fire" cannot even be categorised as a masterpiece... is purely angelic. "My shine will be complete with your fire"... So glorious... infinity's words from pure infant lips; Oh Love so behoved to those infinity ships! (allow me to place right here this verses of mine, written in English back then, as a tribute to this teacher). We love you Daniel Lanois, you are a modest giant!
It's weird to think they tried to market Daniel Lanois through television and promotional MTV-style performances like this. I gotta wonder how many people saw this back in the day who'd never heard him before and became lifelong fans.
