It's difficult for me to give an unbiased opinion because Indochine definitely marked the most important years of my life. Let's start by saying that Indochine was a total hit in Peru in late 80s and the main reason was the diffusion of this concert, which features the best songs from the first 5 years of the group (L'aventurier, Canary Bay, 3eme. Sexe...).

If you have never listened to the group, you should first listen to this concert. Personally every time I listened to them, I feel transported to a magic world. Even if you don't know French (I do, but the majority of Peruvians don't, and even though that the group was a hit) you will feel trapped by their music.

Not only are the songs great (as usual) but the performance is exhillerating. A true collection of their best pieces by an excellent band in rare form. If you like classic eighties music, and French lyrics, this is the one album you'll listen to again and again.

I heard of Indochine in the late 80's when they came to Peru but didnt see or bought their music. But i always like it. One day talking to my sister about the band, I decided to look for their CD online. I immediately bought it and I have had it for 2 years now. It is an excellent CD. Everytime i meet some one from France i have to ask them about the band. I have been trying to spread the word among my american friends and colegues but no one has fallen for it yet. Must be the french lyrics :oD
I wonder if they ever sang in English! is the band still together?
I wonder if VH1 Bands Reunited French Edition will be interested in getting them back together :oP

I saw Indochine in the Amauta Colisseum,in Lima,Peru,and I can't still forget that concert, even though it was in 1988. By that time, all the radios in Peru plays Indochine's music at all time, everywhere. This band sold thousands of Au Zenith's LP's and cassettes in Perú, and you could listen and dance their music at all parties,all reunions,at streets, in schools, in buses, in TV, (my English teacher hates them because my friends instead of speaking and learning English, prefered to listen Indochine french music and sing L'aventurier, Canary Bay, A l'assault, 3eme sexe, Kao Bang,etc). When Indochine came to Lima, some people of Alan Garcia's peruvian goverment start to make problems to the group, but this fact only caused the increased of the popularity of Indochine in Peru. With concert's tickets sold out, Indochine became in the most popular rock and pop group that Peru has ever received until now. This Au Zenith's album became also in the most selling album in the history of Peru's discography also. Indochine still plays his music (Nicola Sirkis as the vocal leader and the last survivor of the original band)and performs excellent concerts like the last one recording in the Stade de France (Putain de Stade) in June 2010. Simplement LE BEST !!!

la primera vez que lo eschuché fue hace 20 años.
era de mi hermana menor y era un cassete, asi que lo perdimos de vista despues de que lo prestó a alguien y ese alguien nunca se lo devolvió.
ahora que lo tengo de nuevo despues de 20 años, vuelvo a esos tiempos de juventud maravillosa. y pienso dárselo de cumpleaños a mi hermana. será una sorpresa inolvidable.
gracias indochine ! donde quiera que estén. lo recomiendo de 5 estrellas.
