THE VIRGINS The Virgins (2008)

The Virgins c'est un groupe new yorkais!

ls sont quatre et c'est dans la scène rock actuelle ou dans le passé qu'ils puisent leur inspiration. The Virgins réssucite l'esprit de Television, les Talkings Heads et autres New-York dolls.

Donald Cumming, le leader charismatique du groupe se rêve écrivain mais pense que mis en musique ses textes attireront un jour le public.

Ce groupe a le groove, l'insolence rockn roll et une forme de classe qu'il ne faut pas laisser passer!

The Virgins it is a new band from New-York!

They are four and they mix a sort of old with a very new spirit.

They are the hidden sons of Television, Talkings Heads and other New York dolls.

Donald Cumming, the charismatic leader of the band dreams as a writer but thinks that put in music its texts will attract one day the public. This group has the groove, the rocknroll insolence and a form of class that you cant avoid!

FRANCOISE HARDY Comment te dire adieu

Her lower profile didn’t prevent the lyrically clever Comment te dire adieu, a song penned by singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg (who had also been behind many of France Gall’s hits) from becoming one of the biggest hits of 1969. Further releases from an album of the same name followed, including the weaker, banjo-laden Etonnez-moi, Benoît.

BRIGITTE BARDOT SHOW

This is Brigitte Bardot when she was an uber hot sex kitten. Now she's a mad granny type obsessed with fascists and kittens!
One of the greatest Brigitte Bardot albums you could ever buy! This essential CD compiles material from a rare album that Brigitte cut during the 60s for the French A-Z label, and the set includes some killer work written for BB by Serge Gainsbourg and Francis Lai.Tracks are a mix of sexy vocals and instrumentals, with super-fab French arrangements by Michel Colombier, Paul Pio, and Christian Gaubert. There's plenty of moments with a nice groove and a bit of fun!

Serge GAINSBOURG ''vu de l exterieur''

A great Serge Gainsbourg album from 1973 - one that we'd rank right up there with his best work! The record's got a slinky funky groove that's right in a perfect post-Melody Nelson mode -- music written by Serge, and played by a hip small combo that includes lots of great guitar from Alan Parker and sweet electric keyboards and organ from the great Alan Hawkshaw -- both of whom really help keep the sound great!
Many tracks have that mellow funk groove that's become the best-remembered Gainsbourg sound over the years -- and as with many of his other albums of the time, this one's brimming over with potential samples and riffs to steal.

Serge GAINSBOURG ''L homme a tete de chou''

One of Serge Gainsbourg's best albums ever -- and don't pass it up! This one was recorded in the mid 70s -- and it's got a great set of orchestrations by Alan Hawkshaw that are filled with loads of cool spare moogy and electronic bits filtering in and out of the mix! Some tracks have an excellent sound that approaches Serge's classic Melody Nelson album -- and others have a uniquely spacey quality that's unlike any of his other work!

C'est poêtique et subversif, c'est dommage cela n existe plus dans la musique en France!

Hi JOYCE! this is Gainsbourg

Salut Joyce comme je te l'avais promis voici du Gainsbourg du vrai du beau, passe une bonne journée pleine de musique et de douceurs!

Hi Joyce like I had promised you here is Gainsbourg, truth and beautiful, have a good day full of music and sweetness!

Fantastic! This may well be Serge Gainsbourg's greatest album ever -- a whole suite based around a spare, electric bass-driven theme, with Serge muttering the lyrics in a raspy loud whisper, while funky rhythms dart in and out of washes of strings and eerie sounds. There's a very strong soundtrack feel to the album, as washes of music envelop the lyrics, tripped out in funky beats that have become legendary over the years, thanks to some very famous samples.
