5.0 out of 5 stars the best french pop band, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: William Pears (Audio CD)

Beautiful music: sweet melodies and well-advised harmonies. If you like the beatles, brian wilson, ray davies, the byrds and xtc, you will like this record.

Grab a glass of wine a beret and ........a French Pop CD ?
Perfect happy little songs that make your head dance and your heart skip
along a hopscotch trail.
After the first song on this brilliant line up of songs,
you'll be humming the words in line at the local food shop.
Sweet as the pastries you just put on the conveyer belt and the check out
lady smiles and starts singing along with you..ahhhhhhh....and all is right with
the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strangers in their own country!, July 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: William Pears (Audio CD)

Wow!. I never thought i would talk about a pop band from France. France, musically speaking, is a third world country, but sometimes you discover an oasis in the desert and you recover energy and optimism. First song describes all the problems they have had to become they are. Bravo! guys. You really love pop music!
