 color the session with accuracy. The accordionist’s rhythmic syncopation and percussive articulation drive his performance with a bright spirit.
The duo album with clarinetist/saxophonist Michel Portal was recorded earlier in 1998 at the NDR radio studios in Hamburg. Again, there was a “live” audience to witness this collaboration and to spur the artists on. Their program relies heavily on tango moods and the music of Astor Piazzolla & Hermeto Pascoal. Passions run high and the duo weaves new, creative ideas into their performance.
With Daniel Humair and Jean-François Jenny-Clark at the 1996 Montreux Jazz Festival, Galliano moves further into the jazz idiom. Swinging his accordion alongside walking bass and ride cymbal brings a special flavor to Galliano’s performance. With the trio we find him leaning occasionally towards a New Orleans Cajun air. Virtuosity takes a back seat to intended impressions and moods. Exotic music from other geographical areas, such as North Africa, reminds us just how far the jazz paintbrush extends. From Satch and Duke to Miles and beyond, the trio brought something very special to the annual festival. Also virtuosos on their instruments, bassist and drummer solo as well, and prove that they’re one of the best rhythm teams in the world.
Richard Galliano loves to base his work on a blazing-fast waltz time or a strutting tango rhythm. His blue-collar work ethic places him among the best in the world on the instrument. But because of the unique impression associated with the accordion, Galliano wisely opts to program his performances around the sounds of France, Italy, North Africa and Argentina – performed with a powerful jazz sensibility.

As you will already know, Facebook offers advertisers a number of ad objectives to help them achieve several goals. For example, they can drive traffic or engagement, raise brand awareness, or increase conversions. As such, all objectives are tied under three specific overarching strategic objectives – Awareness, Consideration, and Conversion. And now, Facebook is adding a brand new objective under consideration, that to help them drive conversations with the people who are more likely to answer them.
The messages objective can be used by all businesses who want to open conversations with customers, whether it’s to answer questions, drive transactions, offer support, or generate leads. The objective now makes click to Messenger ads more efficient, “increasing the value of campaigns that drive traffic” to the Messenger platform, and helping brands move customers from consideration to action.
The new objective will house all of Facebook’s existing messaging ad products, also allowing brands to “reengage in existing conversations using sponsored messages” – which will soon be incorporated into the messages objective.
You can find out more about the messages objective here.

Honestly, I'm all for people shitting on a game when it clearly deserves it, cases like what Destiny 1 pulled back in the days, the metric-ton of lies for No Man's Sky at its launch or even what the devs pulled with Marvel Avengers, all of the hate was justified for all three of those cases.

but I can't shake the feeling that... all of the people who shits on Babylon's Fall either haven't played the game at all themselves and are just jumping on the hate bandwagon because, Internet being the Internet. Or if they actually played it, a lot of them seemingly gave up after an hour or two... legit not giving it a fair shot.

Meanwhile, those who actually stuck with it are almost all positive about it... almost as if they went in with an open mind rather than a closed, emotionally driven, mindset.

 It looks kinda ugly at first glance
3. they're judging the game based on about 2h of gameplay...

Needless to say, That's not how you formulate a well informed opinion about a game these days.

Imagine if people would've judged FFXIV based on the first 5h of gameplay? Not only is it disingenuous and shows a clear lack of open mindedness, but it also does the game a huge deservice.

Again, I'm not asking people to praise it, all I'm asking is for people to stop being closed minded pricks that judges games based on their opening segment... But I guess even that was too much to ask[S51] Obituary James Scroggins, ca. 16 Dec 2009.
