If you like Nouvelle Vague - early 80's New Wave, Bossa Nova, and French cinema, and I do, this album has got it all rolled into one. Well, maybe not cinema per se, but very much the existential brooding attitude of nouvelle vague. Take a selection of 14 songs - a lot from old favorites like Depeche Mode's I Just Can't Get Enough and The Cure's A Forest (my favorite rendition, but of course) and The Clash's Guns of Brixton, throw some bossa nova beats, acoustic guitars, smokey, smoldering female jazz club/lounge voices and it makes for a peculiar but brilliant mix of everything fantastically 80's and modern day. Love, love it!
