Details: Product Description Very cool French only collection of many modern day Electronica artists remixing Serge's most popular tracks. 14 tracks in all.

Standard jewel case. Amazon.ca A priori, this kind of post-mortem tribute could only raise a vague interest on the part of purist fans of Gainsbourg. However, listening to these twelve rereadings, it is clear that the work of the handsome Serge, which easily transcends eras and genres, has greatly inspired the various remixers. While "L'Hôtel Particulier" (Stratus) adorns itself with swaying grooves and electro chirps, Readymade grafts jazz-funk breakbeats on "Aéroplanes". "New York USA" (Snooze) gets together with hip-hop beats, "Lola Rastaquouère" (Château Flight) turns into a hallucinated dub and "Je t'aime… moi, non plus" takes on the allure of bossa-nova Aerial. Finally, "No Comment" (Dax Riders) turns into electro-house while "Sea, Sex & Sun" gorges on seventies funk. We love it! --Karine Lacoste
