Synopsis

Amazon.com
Recycling the 1980s sound has been in vogue lately, so it?s no surprise that the producing team known as Nouvelle Vague would find yet another way to mine the nostalgia for the early ?80s, post-punk era. They?re doing it bossa nova style. The disc opens with a rendition of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." It?s a charming start, and with a breathy chanteuse on vocals, it?s exactly the kind of sound that has some music critics proclaiming (admittedly with a touch of sarcasm) that Nouvelle Vague is the ironic dinner music for the new millennium. Unfortunately, this CD is somewhat less winning as it wears on. "Guns of Brixton" is annoying when done in a loungey mood, and sitting through "Too Drunk to F**k" in the wrong company could certainly ruin the amuse bouche. Nevertheless, the entertaining tracks do outweigh tiresome ones on this release. If this concept sounds like an interesting idea to you, you?re bound to get a smile from the execution. --Leah Weathersby
 

CD Reviews

Get the "Dirty" version instead.

(1 out of 5 stars)

"The one star isn't a reflection of the music, but rather this "Clean" version. It simply deletes the 2 songs on the regular version (DK's "Too Drunk..." & Josef K's "Sorry For Laughing"). "Too Drunk..." is probably the funniest of all the tracks, so not only would you be missing out, but you'd be stuck with a disc that no one wants if you try to resell it. Make a copy without the tracks if you really need to censor the music."
