Review by Millwood Dec 13, 2007

There was genuinely a period in 2000 where you couldn't walk into a cafe without hearing St. Germain's 'Tourist'. It single-handedly put the cafe / lounge / nu-jazz movement on the map.

Whilst it's not an album that's going to blow your mind apart, there's a good chance I'd listen to it more frequently today if it hadn't been so hideously over-exposed at the time of its release.. And I suspect the fact that Ludovic Navarre hasn't released any further albums under this moniker is a solemn nod in that direction.
