I am the Rogue, I am deceiving, I am whatever youve been told"When Leonard Cohen released his rendition of "the Partisan" - the anti-fascist anthem about the French Resistance during the Second World War - in 1969 on a 7-single the world was vastly different from the one we live in today. There were no cell-phones, no out-of-control finance capitalism, no electronic-dance music. But even tough most of our daily life has changed in countless ways, the haunting sound of Leonard Cohens guitar-picking crackling through the speakers still makes the hairs on our necks stand up. The beauty and magic prevails and is sustained. With the shape of the musical landscape being changed for good - there are still records and artists that capture this special feeling that only the greatest music can create.
