Includes tracks from The Specials, Os Mutantes, Pale Fountains, Tones On Tail, Julie London and an exclusive Nouvelle Vague track, their cover of Dexys Midnight Runners' 'Come On Eileen'. Azuli. 2007.
Album Details
Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux Are the Pair of Pop Subversives Responsible for Nouvelle Vague, the French Band Whose Self-titled Debut Album Won Hearts (And Soundtracked Movies) in 2004. The Duo Took 13 Songs from the Post-punk Era and Re-imagined them as Bossa Nova Tunes; The Lightness of Touch and Deft Production Somehow Lifting the Project from the Land of the Kitsch and Placing it Firmly Where it Belonged: Midway Twixt Avant-garde and Pop. In Fact, an Album that Would have Happily Sat in the Ztt Catalogue 20 Years Ago. If You Want to Know Where the Heads of Nouvelle Vague Are At, "Late Night Tales" Gives You a Wee Glimpse Through the Twitching Curtains of their Lustrous Minds. If Acid House Had Exploded in a Fetid Basement in Rue Hachette Rather Than the Repressed and Sweaty Confines of Thatcher's Britain, it Might have Sounded Something Like This. Torch Songs, Songs of Redemption and Remorse, Heartbreak and Uplift. Mood Music of Elevators and Elevation.

Great CD I imagine March 1, 2007

Hi, my name is Jayson, and I am 13 and a half years old. I was over at my friend Brian's house, and his sister was listening to this CD. She is cool but she is a private person. She didn't like us practicing karate, so she turned up her stereo, and my friend Brian and I ended up practicing karate to the CD. I think everyone should own this CD, and I would like to get a copy for my birthday. 5 stars.
