5.0 out of 5 stars First and best!, July 6, 2000

This review is from: Rita Mitsouko - (5 Titres en Plus) (Audio CD)

It took me so long to find this recording, since it was ignored for so long, and overshadowed by the success of Les Rita Mitsouko's subsequent albums. In this case, as it is as well for many other artists, the first album is and will always be the best. You feel and hear the experimentation on this album. Even if many of the songs from this recording were re-worked on later albums, they are still fantastic, and in my opinion better, in their original state. While the Rita Mitsouko became this in-your-face punk group later in the 80s, on this album they seem to reveal a softer and more vulnerable side, maybe because they had not attainted a certain level of notoriety yet. The lyrics are deeper, the vocals more controlled and the music more tamed than on the later albums. Even if I think all of Les Rita Mitsouko's body of work is already legendary and forever unique, I still would choose this album over the others if I had to pick just one...

I bought this CD mainly for the song Marcia Baila. I remember dancing to this in Orlando at Spit night (the new wave night at Park Avenue Club). Loved it then and I still love it now, only wish I could get a copy of the music video that goes with the song!!! The rest of the songs are pretty good, too, but compared with Marcia Baila they're only alright.

Holy gad, this album is 23 years old and it still sounds like the Future at times. I have a friend who to this day insists this is the single best New Wave album of that era. I'd argue for another by this same group or maybe a Split Enz title (True Colors)but I've always seen their point. Womderful if you love that era and are getting tired of the usual stuff heard on 80s stations. "Don't Forget the Night" and "Galoping" are probably my favorite songs by this band and are permanently in my Top 50. "Galoping" is just one of the most extraordinarily original bits of songwriting ever--music of the future we deserved; what pop should sound like in the year 2095 if we ever get back to having fun.
