OST : Sleepwalking Through The Mekong (by Dengue Fever, 2009)

noreply@blogger.com (raremarc) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:47:00 +0000

"During the 60's and early 70's, as the war in Vietnam threatened its borders, a new music scene emerged in Cambodia that took Western rock and roll and stood it on its head - creating a sound like no other.

Cambodian musicians crafted this sound from the various rock music styles sweeping across America and England, adding the unique melodies and hypnotic rhythms of their traditional music. The beautiful singing of the renowned female vocalists became the final touch that made this mix so enticing.

As the peasant Khmer Rouge army closed in on the capital city of Phnom Penh, Cambodian rock and rollers played at rooftop parties while bombs ignited the evening sky. After taking over the country on April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge began one of the most brutal genocides in history, killing 2 million people - 1/4 of the Cambodian population. Intellectuals, artists and musicians were murdered simply for their status. Only a few miraculously survived to tell their story"cambodianrock.com

Dengue Fever has helped revive this tradition in a psychedelic way since 2001. After the brilliant "Venus on Earth" (M80-Real World Records, 2008), taking advantage of the trip to the Khmer capital, Phnom Penh during the Bon Om Thook water festival in 2005, they filmed a rockumentary telling some Cambodian rock story.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the soundtrack is trippin' amazing! Some of the best Cambodian rock songs included.

Is this a yellow dream?

New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies, 1983

noreply@blogger.com (raremarc) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:45:00 +0000

Hi guys, sorry for the delay, I've been on vacation last week.

Today I want to present you one of my favourite bands with his best 2 albums. Maybe you will miss some song like Blue Monday, Temptation or Bizarre Love Triangle...the most celebrated singles, but this 2 albums contains most of the hits of the band.

Power, Corruption & Lies (Factory Records, 1983) is his second album after Movement (Factory Records, 1981) and some singles realised after Ian Curtis suicide. More influenced by the post-disco and electro movements of New York, where the band travelled in 1981, and the album becomes more synthesizer-based and less dark than previous works. Peter Hook's bass lines are amazing.

Tracklist:

1. Age of Consent
2. We All Stand
3. The Village
4. 586
5. Your Silent Face
6. Ultraviolence
7. Ecstasy
8. Leave Me Alone

Dancing in the dark!

New Order - Technique, 1989

noreply@blogger.com (raremarc) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:42:00 +0000

This another one is a classic. Their best album in my opinion. With influences of Ibiza's acid house and more melodic guitars than the others. It contains a lot of great songs, one behind another. Highlights: All The Way, Round & Round, Mr Disco and Vanishing Point among others.

Tracklist:

1. Fine Time
2. All The Way
3. Love Less
4. Round & Round
5. Guilty Partner
6. Run
7. Mr. Disco
8. Vanishing Point
9. Dream Attack

Françoise Hardy - Comment Te Dire Adieu, 1968

noreply@blogger.com (raremarc) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:10:00 +0000

Cover illustration made by Jean Paul Goude

Credits in this album are very interesting, because she dare with songs composed by Gainsbourg (L'anamour), Leonard Cohen (Suzanne), Brassens (I'l N'y a Pas D'amour Heureux) or Antonio Carlos Jobim (La Mésange). Although, the most important song is Comment Te Dire Adieu?, writed by Gainsbourg too, a nostalgic song about a farewell, but with happy poppy rhythm. Some songs are arrenged by great John Cameron.
Sweet and warm as she only can be.

Also, I added 2 bonus tracks, one sung with Jane Birkin and another with Air (French Band) from 1998. Salut!

1, Comment Te Dire Adieu?
2, Où Va La Chance?
3, L'anamour
4, Suzanne
5, I'l N'y a Pas D'amour Heureux
6, La Mésange
7, Parlez-moi De Lui
8, À Quoi Ça Sert?
9, Il Vaut Mieux Une Petite Maison Dans La Main Qu'un Grand Château Dans Les Nuages
10, La Rue Des Coeurs Perdus
11, Étonnez-moi, Benoît..!
12, La Mer, Les Étoiles Et Le Vent

Bonus:
13, Comment Lui Dire Adieu (avec Jane Birkin)
14, Jeanne (avec Air)

Très Jolie!

OST : Bilitis (by Francis Lai, 1977)

noreply@blogger.com (raremarc) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 01:21:00 +0000

In 1895 the belgian writer Pierre Louÿs publishes the translation of the work of the Greek poet Bilitis, pupil of Sappho. The book had success for its erotic content; rather, lesbian content. In fact, the poetries were written by the same Louÿs, who invented the character of Bilitis and himself as a translator. In 1955 was formed in San Francisco the first lesbian organizations in USA called itself Daughters of Bilitis. Later, in 1977, one of the most commercially successful and controversial photographers in the world, David Hamilton, made a softcore film called Bilitis. Francis Lai composed its film score and won the César award of French Academy of Cinema as the Best Soundtrack Writer of the year.

It's a charming delight.

She and she!
