A significant change in Manu Chao's music, but still, Manu Chao is always recognisable. Although I am not a French speaker, the music is just very original, sometimes very catchy and the use of the language very colourful. Happy to have it in my Manu collection, it was definitely worth the money !

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome album, April 14, 2008

By	Darren Knowles (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I recently bought the 23 song album with illustrated book by Wozniak, and love it. (Note the picture on Amazon is for an abbreviated album with less tracks).

The style is much more 'chilled' than Manu's other albums, and the best way I can describe it is 'Manu unplugged' though I am not sure that does it justice.

It is full of catchy beats and lyrics, and features awesome guitar with a light eclectic smattering of other instruments from Manu's fellow musicians that form Radio Bemba.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not expected, but still great. , April 6, 2006

By	Laura Picallo "Lilith de Sade" (Jackson Heights, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On this album, Mnau Chao takes things down a notch, creating beautiful music albeit lighter and slower.

It took a few listens to get into the rhythms and the flow but once I did, I found myself hooked on such catchy tunes like 'J'ai Besoin De La Lune' and 'Il Faut Manger.'

Despite the album being all in French, Manu Chao succeeds again in making great music that transcends languages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as expected
A normal collection of songs in Manu Chao's style, but not so different from what I expected. Surely it is an interesting work.
