"I don't know a single bad album made by ARNO, from the early TC MATIC's albums till now.
This Belgian singer-songwritter deserves an international success.
He is not afraid to sing in french , english or dutch, to mix blues ,rock and traditional Belgian beats, sounds and humour.
He is a real poet, a great performer and has an unusual voice.
ARNO is often seen as the new Jacques Brel, I believe his work goes farther, it is much more diversified and of course contemporary.
Just like ALEX HARVEY was...maybe a lil too weird and too honest to be recognised on a largest scale."

"I know Arno already from his time with TC Matic, a very impressive and controlversial rockband.
The Belgian Arno is a phenomena, creating simple but oo-soo subtle strong songs, sung mainly in french and english. 'Je veux nager' is my favourite. Each time my 5-year old son is in the car, he requests this song and sings along. A classical that will survive the years. Everybody who loves rocksongs with jazzy influences and french chanson should buy this CD. Arno won't let you down."
