Details: Amazon.ca Change of course again for Alain Bashung, who balances his ninth studio album between country and new age thanks to the superb layers of guitar by Michael Brook. Alternately Indian or Arab, they willingly rub shoulders with a haunting muffled trumpet, as in the excellent "Après d'apres hostilités", or with the balloche accordion of "A Ostende". While the jubilant hit "Ma petite entreprise" evokes, at a jerky pace, the world of work and its decision-makers. The texts, which Bashung wrote in collaboration with Jean Fauque, abound as usual with enigmatic puns and this nonchalant despair so strongly present in "I have long contemplated". In the end, an album tinged with this rare elegance which Alain Bashung has made his trademark. --Sylvie Devilette
