Editorial Reviews

2008 album from the legendary French Fox, her seventh studio album overall. This Canadian-born vocalist, songwriter, actress and author released her debut album in 1986 and, since then, has remained one of the most successful recording artists of all time in France. Due to the enormous success of the 2006 single 'Slipping Away (Crier la vie'), her collaboration with Electronic whiz Moby, Farmer teams up with him once again for the track 'Looking For My Name'. Features 10 tracks including 'Appelle Mon Numro', 'Sextonik' and the single 'D‚g‚n‚ration'. Universal. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthy Mylene, but not a classic, September 23, 2008

Greetings. This album has some sublime moments, but it is far from her finest work. THAT masterpiece would be the incomparable magnum opus from 1999, __Innamoramento__. This collection does contain 2 songs that are equal to her very, very finest moments, along the lines of Ainsi Soit-Je, Je te Rends ton Amour, Libertine, Je T'aime Melancolie, Regrets, and L'Amour N'est Rien. These two best moments of __Point de Suture__ are the super-catchy, faux-innocent, and joy-inspiring __Appelle mon Numero__ and the gorgeous, haunted and haunting title track, __Point de Suture__, which is even more mesmerizing than Annie Lennox's most private moments.
A few other songs are nearly as fantastic, such as Reveiller le Monde, Je M'ennuie, and the first single, Degeneration. The only true horror, and genuinely shocking disappointment is the "duet" with Moby. It is not worth discussion, and is certainly not worthy of inclusion in her opus. His voice is terrible in relation to hers and to the music. What were they thinking? He is a poor David Bowie substitute. Mylene and Laurent are musicians and poets of such a high order, that to put out so few albums, and to take such great care with their collective output, this misstep seems disturbing and unfortunate. Guere de logique.
Oh well, Farmer and Boutonnat are without equals, and I absolutely love their universe. Bravo et brava! Neil T of Minneapolis, MN [e-mail]

5.0 out of 5 stars L'ANGE ROUGE N'ECHOUERA JAMAIS A ME PLAIRE !!!!, September 11, 2008

Les necs les plus ultra sont, sans doute, JE M'ENNUIE, REVEILLER LE MONDE, C'EST DANS L'AIR, APPELLE MON NUMERO, et l'incomparable POINT DE SUTURE, qui me fait penser à la chanson AVANT QUE L'OMBRE. Simplement ce disque ne se ressemble à celui de 2005, le bel et bien aimé ...OMBRE duquel elle tissait l'énorme spectacle de 2006 à Bercy (le dvd soyant un MUST) mais ce disque nous offre un autre vue de Mylène : plein de surpris et de points d'émotion la plus forte. C'est clair, c'est bel, et c'est Mylène, qui règnera à jamais en tant que l'ange roux.

Mylene Farmer does it again. It's a shame the American music market is so xenophobic that this release will be largely overlooked. Try it, you'll like it! And don't be put off by critics who refer to Mylene as "the French Madonna." No offense to Madonna, but Mylene takes it to a whole other level.
One caveat to potential buyers - this version of the CD DOES NOT include the 'Dégénération' video - so be sure to check it out on YouTube (and shame on Amazon.com for the misleading description).

**************************************

Mylene Farmer le fait encore. C'est une honte que le marché Américain de musique est si xénophobique que ce dégagement sera en grande partie négligé. Essayez-le, vous l'aimera! Et ne soyez pas mis au loin par les critiques qui se réfèrent à Mylene comme "le Madonna Franēais." Aucune offense à Madonna, mais Mylene ne lui prend à une totalité l'autre niveau. Un avertissement aux acheteurs potentiels - cette version du CD n'inclut pas le 'Dégénération' vidéo - soyez ainsi sūr de la vérifier dehors sur YouTube (et honte sur Amazon.com pour la description fallacieuse).
