Editorial Reviews

The grande dame of French art song bids 'bonjour 21st century' with help from Sonic Youth, Archie Shepp and more. A grab-bag of styles and approaches relying on Fontaine's delirious presence alone to tie it all together. 13 tracks including 'Bis Baby Boum Boum', 'Rififi' & 'God's Nightmare'. 2001.

5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous decadence, May 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kekeland (Audio CD)

a great luxurious fall, graceful as an aging courtesean; it is fabulous and so is she, ribald and profane and full of beauty, she mixes contemporary near-dance music with slices of pipes and antique cafe set pieces which showcase her ennui and angst-stricken voice perfectly -- a loose comparison to Marianne Faithful, to the credit of both.

Derrama estilo y glamour. Suena a new wave, a Tango, a Rock experimental,a jazz, a electronica y a channson.Me enferma ocupar la palabra eclectico pero lo es, integramente lo es. Brigitte Fontaine reune a la crema y la nata de la escena musical en un equipo fuera de lugar que merece postrar en un altar esta joya. Del consentido grupo frances M, pasando por la psicodelia experimental de Sonic Youth con su particular guru Jim O'rourke y Areski su complice de cabecera. Fontaine no supera las cosquillas que los sonidos africanos siempre le han hecho y deja claro la escuela que impone a bandas como Stereolab, es una pena que no abusara del moog que tanto le gusto en su momento como en su fabulosa cancion Patriarcat de su etnico album Vous et Nous de 1979.
