that's cool but they're the same bonus tracks that have been on the cds since seventh first issued them in '89 :)

Here's a great, ear-opening article about the French underground:

Any good compilations covering this era? Seems ripe for Soul Jazz to do something similar to their stellar krautrock samplers.

There was a post recently about a compilatiom based on the NWW list which was all French music from that era. Check the NWW List thread.

As I said on that thread, I spent some time a few years ago listening to a lot of avant garde French rock from that era and though there's a lot of great stuff, I don't think there's as much of it as there was in Germany at the same time.

That's an interesting article, but I've tried to get into Magma at least a half dozen times and they suuuuuck. And the Pinhas/Heldon albums I've heard (old stuff as well as recent music, including collaborations with Merzbow and other folks) are just weirdly static and bland.

Yeah Iceland is the only Pinhaus thing I’ve dug

It’s pretty “static” though
The new Feu ! Chatterton furthers cements their status as the Radiohead de la nouvelle chanson française.

Presumably they sing in French!

They do, they do, and Arthur Teboul is an especially fine lyricist.

I do miss the more overt rawk stylings of their debut, though. They struck just the right balance on that one.

I'm appreciating what could be perceived as a risk taken with taste level, although that said, more an indicator of different transcanal attitudes to kitsch

I just heard yerman yell 'UNI-ROYAUME', wonder what he could have been saying lol

That's a very diplomatic way of putting it – perhaps the Rejoin campaign will win out in the end.
Besides, as their name indicates, these five lads are very fond of your side of the Manche.

oh I didn't know there was a new one, thanks for the heads-up!

The final four songs are refreshingly strong for a 1h10m album. 'Laissons filer' may be the highlight.

Granted, the closer is a reprise of the opener. His delivery of 'attraper le bluetooth' makes me chuckle every time.
