Ooo La La!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Found this little gem at a rather large British Music Chain Store, wherein they have a resident DJ...any ideas darlings?An absolute must for those who are the torchbearers of all that is hip and swank.French 60's kitsch pop intertwined with sampling that is out of this world..baby! It reminds me of 'Our Man Flynt", 'The Party' and 'I Love you Alice B. Toklas' avec a soupson of 'Barbarella' thrown in for good space-age measure.You can be catapulted into one of those swingin 60's parties where the jet-set meet the bohemians meet the gurus meet the starlets...why is that Princess Margaret I see?This gives 'Sacre Bleu' by Dimitri from Paris a bit of the old run for his money, but not quite as polished.Fantastic...buy it!"
C'est magnifique

"The movie was an artistic bore, but at least it introduced me to Mellow! I love this album- 60's campy, spacy, downbeat and french all rolled into one- what more could you ask for? I used to think Air's 'Moon Safari' was great, but this cd kicks it up a few notches. Get it Now!"
A "voyage" back in time.....

"Fans of the 60's and 70's...of french pop, kitch music..of the "vampyros Lesbos" type of music and the "fantastic planet" type..(if you know what i mean)..
Are going to adore this album!!!Track 4 "love on the moon" is a perfect exemple..famous french artists like jacques dutronc, claude francois.etc..are also compiled in this album.
like ,track 5 "ce soir je vais boire" and track13 "le responsable" (which was also used in the C.Q trailer with the titled n21 "dragonly M36" btw)track 10 "a vision" , track 11 "airplane" ,track 15 "cq theme" are all perfect for "air" fans (more precisely "virgin suicides")overall this album is very melodic and varied.
it is a Must! in the genre.Other suggestions:
Dimitri from Paris , CLaude francois , david Holmes "don't die just yet" , serge gainsbourg , soundtrack of "vampyros lesbos" ,"she killed in ecstasy" , francoise hardy, goldfrapp, francis Lai.."
