Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fusing intensely anarchic, deeply cynical poetry with highly dramatic, sweeping orchestral arrangements, this live document effectively crowned a deeply subversive new icon of French chanson. The fiercely intellectual, highly passionate vocal delivery permanently pushed popular lyricism toward vastly more serious, politically conscious territory.
