Still two days to go for the release of Calypso, but I proudly present my article on the album.
I have focused my article on two aspects of the album: Calypso as Cosey’s first album in black-and-white and the cooperation with François Mattille.

The initial idea for Calypso came from François Mattille. Having found some statements about Mattille’s help as a script doctor in a very old interview (1988!), I thought it was nice to remind us of these statements – with the hindsight we have now.
