Product Description

2009 release, the third album from the French band that conquered the world with Bossa Nova covers of Punk and New Wave classics. Features guest vocals from Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen), Barry Adamson (Magazine) and Terry Hall (The Specials/Fun Boy Three). Led by producer/arrangers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux and sung by a revolving cast of chanteuses, the group's first two albums have sold well over half-a-million copies. On 3, gone are the Reggae and Bossa Nova interpretations. Instead, the songs are inspired by American Country music and Bluegrass. This time around, Nouvelle Vague reinterpret Talking Heads' 'Road To Nowhere', Psychedelic Furs' 'Heaven', Gary Numan's 'Metal', Sex Pistols' 'God Save The Queen', Plastic Bertrand's 'Ca Plane Pour Moi', Soft Cell's 'Say Hello Wave Goodbye' and many more, making this Nouvelle Vague's strongest album to date. Peace Frog.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Music - Sexist creditation, November 11, 2009

By	E. E. Kuersten "Psychedelic Surgeon" (East Village, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here's some great music by two sexist French producers. Why sexist? You'd never know that there's a bunch of talented girl singers on here, because they female vocalists who sing every song aren't credited... the original bands are credited and if an original member from the old band shows up they're credited (as long as they're male) but why not the talented foxy singers?

They're treated like chattel, like disposable property: "Led by producer/arrangers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux and sung by a revolving cast of chanteuses" What is this, a Gasper Noe film come to CD life? How about letting us know who these talented bitchez are and not presume--as these two vain f***ers do, that the only reason we all dig this music is for their inspired but ultimately shallow arrangements?
