5.0 out of 5 stars YANN TIERSEN: TRULY A MUSICAL GENIUS, March 25, 2002

By A Customer

Looking for another Yann Tiersen CD to add to your collection now that you have discovered the soundtrack from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain"? "Rue des Cascades" is the perfect choice. There are actually four songs on this CD that are used in the film plus the theme song from "La Vie Revée des Anges." But that's just the beginning!

From the simple but haunting melodies of the 3 "comptines" to the Celtic undertones of "Déjà Loin" and "C'était Ici" he has the ability to transport you into his world. The visual images that come to mind while listening to "La Chambre" and "La Fenêtre" are that you are actually in his room looking out over his Parisian neighborhood!

This album (1996) is pure Yann Tiersen genius at his best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative and amazing, March 22, 2007

I purchased this after learning that Yann Tiersen was responsible for the Amelie soundtrack. I love this CD. Tiersen's music is reminiscent of Satie but is also creative and original in it's own way. The result of Tiersen's work is simply beautiful and amazing. Lovers of interesting and creative music will appreciate Tiersen's emotion and technique. I am definitely buying more of Tiersen's music in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, August 27, 2003

Very modern, haunting, enjoyable. This must be the music the director of "Amelie" heard that prompted him to ask Yann Tiersen to write the music for "Amelie." I love this CD and want to hear more of this man's music.
