5.0 out of 5 stars Wildly Eclectic Psychedelic Lounge Space Guitar Rock, March 3, 2002

Wow. The gods sorta dumped this one in my path last week and I haven't been able to put it down. The opening track alone is enough to just make you trash everything after 1969 and become a retro-nik bobbing up and down in a Joshua Light Show. It's all oddly current, somehow. I suppose good things just don't die. Imagine your favorite Pink Floyd/Iron Butterfly passages fed through some herky-jerky speed metal but infused with the spirit of Italian lounge film composer Piero Piccioni and then you have an idea of what lies herein. Track 1 is worth the purchase price alone: it sounds like Fellini on psychedelics.

Permanent rotation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trippy modern French pop, September 7, 2002

This review is from: Sssound of Mmmusic (Audio CD)

A brilliantly executed set of dense, exuberant high-tech mix'n'match pop, made by the French producer who has sculpted some of April March's glossier recent efforts. This is a seamless merger of retro-'60s melodicism and bouncy trip-hoppish pop, similar to Katerine or Dominique A, but a bit less cerebral and a bit more likely to induce actual booty shaking. The chorus on "Sunshine Yellow" ("...white powder/biochemical reaction...") really gave me the creeps when I heard it following the post-September 11th anthrax mail scare, even though the song is just about doing the laundry. Great record... recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars si je lui rencontrais au coin de la rue...., September 7, 2001

...je me dirais, "bien fait, bertrand..."

the cd is worth getting for track number 4 alone (if you speak french). other than that, the others are pretty good (not earth-shattering, but pleasant). kind of 'variete' meets techno-lounge. a bit long/tedious at times, but nice for a long drive or zone-out evening. but for me it's all about track 4 - sheer french hilarity in all its subtle pseudo-snob glory. love it or leave it.
