Crise au Québec Captain Xanadu And His Orbiting Orchestrions

Somewhere between the mink stoles and the manifestos, Captain Xanadu found a story worth swinging to. Eleven tracks of vibraphones, theremins, and ticking woodblocks turn a nation's coldest October into the coolest suite in the Orchestrions' catalog. Mambo for the marchers, bossa nova for the diplomats, spy-jazz for the manhunt, and one hushed bolero for the moment the music had to stop being clever. Communiqués never sounded so smooth. History never grooved so hard, or sat so honestly with the weight of what it cost. Pour something strong, dim the lights, and let the Captain take you to Montréal when a whole nation held its breath.
