5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant albumn, October 21, 1999

This review is from: Mlah (Audio CD)

I have worked in many bars in the USA. I always play Mlah and every time I do the bar literally stops and people line up to ask who is this band and where did I get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have never written an Amazon review before, but..., May 10, 2003

I am listening to this album right now and thought I'd peek and see what others have said about it. It is one of my favorites. I bought it when it was released and saw this band live in San Francisco in 1990. They were the best live band I have ever seen and they were great guys. (I helped a friend interview them.) I listen to it regularly still 13 years later... What a great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" of the French garage music scene, October 17, 1998

This review is from: Mlah (Audio CD)

This vital album shows the deluge of external cultural influences that are shaping both French music and society. Musically rich, at times both playful and tongue-in-cheek, this album showcases "garage music" a la francaise with its Spanish and North African themes.

The lyrics are both humourous and at times bitingly satirical. The images are likewise grotesque, compelling, and laughable: showing the tragically mundane in everyday life.

Perhaps the lead singer's best work before his unfortunate overdose.
