Oh, i like these early impressions of a new album someone gives us! Thanks alot, JF! I can almost hear the songs through your descriptions!
But the reason i'm typing this, has nothing to do with your nice review.
While reading through your text, i stumbled over the word "leitmotiv".
I'm a native German speaker and i know exactly what the word means, but i'm curious about how you pronounce it
And: What would be the French or English word for it?
It's funny to see German words in other languages like "Kindergarten", "Waldsterben", "Hinterland", "Wunderkind" or "Zeitgeist"
