5.0 out of 5 stars Gets better and better with each listen, June 15, 2005

By	batik84 (USA) - See all my reviews

What I enjoy most about "� L'Origine" is its highly concentrated orchestration; it seems that each time I listen to the different tracks, I hear little musical flourishes that I hadn't noticed before. Benjamin Biolay's wonderfully evocative vocal performances complete the sound, including a lovely duet with Fran�oise Hardy on the song "Adieu Triste Amour." All around, "� L'Origine" makes for a very gratifying listening experience. In fact, I predict that this album might soon overtake "Rose Kennedy" as my favorite Biolay album...and that's saying a lot!
For those who like to preview before purchasing, sound clips are available on Amazon.fr.

5.0 out of 5 stars His best album so far, May 10, 2005

By	JoJo (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I loved "Rose Kennedy," his first album, and liked his second one "Negatif," but not as much. This one, however, from track one blew me away. This album is lush, theatrical and epic, with amazing instruments and Biolay's vocals finally rising above a hush. One of the best of 2005, no doubt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely perfect, sensual, catchy french tunes, February 11, 2006

By	Aura Casablancas - See all my reviews

Benjamin Biolay has the image of a brooding, gorgeous, A-list film star. Good thing he's not. He is a classically trained musical genius and A L'origine proves exactly that. A L'origine is rockier than his last album Negatif and if you're looking for songs to mellow out and rock out to at the same time, this is it.
