LE BAL DES LAZE

Michel POLNAREFF is a great melody composer,
he study classical piano.
The first track "Jour Après Jour" has a very good orchestration !
And so "Le Bal Des Laze" !
Michel POLNAREFF was a bit angry because people prefered the B side "Y'a Qu'un Ch'veu" than the A side "Le Bal Des Laze" !

BREL 1977

The last and prodigious LP of Jacques BREL.
Belgium gives us many great artists !
After a break in the Marquises island, BREL came back with this opus !
He knew at this time that he was very ill.
I spend a complete summer to listen to this tape when I was a teenager !

PARIS 1919

Such a good album !
Good rock, cool melodies !
For this LP he left his hypnotic viola in the box !
And the orchestration of "PARIS 1919" his so great !
But I'm not objective ! I'm a fan !

JE REVE QUE JE DORE

Philippe LEOTARD was first a philosophy teatcher, and then an actor incredible, a singer and badly a junky !
He often played bad cops who hit easy girls !
For this LP he worked with Art Mengo that had his fame with two or three songs in the end 80's.
Orchestrations are really cool !
In a way it is the French spleen ! Our Tom Waits !

IL VOYAGE EN SOLITAIRE

In Fact this is one of the LP's I've been born and bread !
Gerad MANSET is rare and kind of prescious !
At first his study art then makes his way as singer/songwriter and novelist.
It sometime sound like Beatles, sometimes drums sound like Marvin GAYE !
