Hi all,Most of what remains of my CD collection (sold a huge chunk in the last few months) is french music.
In the last decade, Serge Gainsbourg has attained a high level of appreciation in the english speaking world. Zorn's Tzadik label released a wonderful tribute in the late 90's - I suggest y'all check it out.
Some really wonderful music was produced pre and post occupation, and it's really gone by unnoticed. Shame.
Andy, I recently got into Telephone in the last year or so - it's wonderful. What album did you win?. I suggest Alain Bashung as well. In fact, I think our very own lister Raymond played with him several years ago.
One of my favorite French-Canadian artists is Jean Leloup, which I'm sure some of you on this list would totally dig - 1998's "Les Fourmis" is marvelous. In fact, he's one of the only artists who has ever been able to incorporate "Strange Fruit" into one of his songs and not come off sounding like an inconsiderate asshole.
A nous la liberti, Eric
