CD Reviews

Forget MC Solar (yawn), get your French rap here.

"I met some Swiss guys at the 1998 Montreaux jazz festival who had this CD. French seems to be very suitable to rap, and this upbeat danceable CD seems to hold the interest more than the slow moving MC Solar I've heard. As the Swiss say, 'Das cool, mon'."
LE meilleur groupe suisse de hiphop

"Comme premier album, Chromatik reste une référence incontournable de la scène francophone. Les styles sont variés, et les thèmes sont abordés avec intelligence et rythme. Rien a voir avec le "gangsta" rap si fréquent aujourd'hui. Datant de quelques années, cet album n'a pas pris une ride. Ce groupe n'a bizarrement pas été aussi populaire que les IAM, MC Solaar et autres Poetes de la Rue, au Québec.English translation: A very good album. Worth learning french (& spanish) just for it."
No need to know french (or spanish)

"I've owned this CD for years (bought it at Galeries Lafayette in '94, I think). It's STILL kickin' with unbelieveable grooves and a baseline that other rappers must envy. Even without understanding french and spanish, you'll marvel at the alliteration in the lyrics. If you understand either language, you'll enjoy what the band has to say and the stories they tell. Well worth the Amazon "import" price."
