Details: Product Description The grande dame of French art song bids 'bonjour 21st century' with help from Sonic Youth, Archie Shepp and more. A grab-bag of styles and approaches relying on Fontaine's delirious presence alone to tie it all together. 13 tracks including 'Bis Baby Boom Boom', 'Rififi' & 'God's Nightmare'. 2001. Amazon.ca The explosive Brigitte Fontaine, on the alert for more than thirty years, continues her escapades far from the standards of formatted variety. She has invited a few olibrius such as M, Noir Désir or Les Valentins, to her Kekeland estate, to put an end to musical propriety. In a chaotic and playful journey, she takes to the maquis between reggae rhythms ("Je fume"), rock riffs ("Baby Bom Boom") and velvety pop ("Les Filles d'Aujourd'hui"). Lean cows now kept at a distance, she puts on the costume of the "Half a tramp", her mouth full of maggots and gin, listens to Björk and Fauré, and declares that love is "Pipeau", good for the suckers. Adored by the international indie rock from the New Yorkers of Sonic Youth to the English of Stereolab, the diva Fontaine consolidates her position as a maverick, hidden behind the irresistible melodies of Areski Belkacem, her faithful accomplice for thirty years. In Kekeland, Brigitte Fontaine makes collages with Les églantines (perhaps they are wonderful), Le Nougat and other Morceaux de choice. It's his type. Human race. --Sabrina Silamo
