FRENCH CHIC!
VA - Stereo Ultra Vol. 01-03 [1998-2000] (3 x CDs)
This is an exciting delve into the obscure and forgotten music libraries of French chic. It's an aural odyssey into wildly adventurous instrumental gems created for TV, film & radio that graced the undisputed hip French media and all these incredible tunes were composed and created by elite group of little-known yet highly talented artists. An eclectic selection of rumbling bass lines, intoxicating fat beats & solid instrumental jams. These CDs were released in the late 1990s and early 2000s by different labels, such as Wagram Music, Blow Up Records, and Irma Records.
so here is the music that acts as a soundtrack of that time, a music that was a backdrop to the supersonic jetSet parties frequented by Serge Gainsbourg, Brigitte Bardot or Michel Legrand. It's music that sums up a period in French style that has gained the admiration & respect of the world up to including today, and because these tunes had never been made available to the music-buying public, they sound as fresh as ever."
An Excellent trilogy.
