4.0 out of 5 stars Watch out Costes fans, December 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Living on the Edge (Dts) (Audio CD)

This is a good compilation, but fans of the Hotel Costes series will likely already be familiar with most of the song selections on this disc, making this an unwise purchase for them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much new here, April 13, 2004

I view this CD as somewhat of a rip-off. As a new release, under his own name, I expected all new music, but instead found out that about half of them are on the Hotel Costes series, which I already own. Of the "new" material, I find it either just so-so or flat out bad. If it weren't such a hassle I'd return it. The three stars are for those songs which I found good on the previous Costes CD's, otherwise it would be a ONE star review.

From the "Master" of Costes series (dont' forget to include on it also : Saks fifth avenue) this is the first adventure as single player.
The final result it's good but not excellent.
The first thing is that he put in this cd some songs already present in the Costes series : (4 songs in 13 totally makes 30% of the cd already knows).
The others songs are ok and are quite more danceable than usual.
Double beat, Living on the Edge and Fast and Loud are probably the strongest of the CD.

Funny are : Loulou de Pommery and Petit Pompopou (where the little son of Pompugnac is smiling).
Nice also the melody Clumsy ( a little contribute to pop/beat).
Well a CD that you must have if you are a "unconditionally" fan of "le roi de Paris" (as me of course!)
Pompugnac : we are waiting the next one hoping will be a five stars!
