RELEASE DATE

2011 release. Precisely four decades since the original release of the 1971 LP
Histoire De Melody Nelson
, Serge Gainsbourg's most celebrated composer, arranger and composer
Jean-Claude Vannier
returns to the same artistic territory that has since come to represent his most iconic period and continually inspire almost five generations of experimental rock luminaries. Respected throughout France as a long running singer-songwriter and experimental composer in his own right, it has taken this inclusive forty-year period for his music to travel beyond his central European fanbase thanks to a growing community of vinyl archeologists and French pop and conceptual rock enthusiasts who have come to clearly recognize the recurring production credits to JCV as a seal of quality and approval while taking gambles on Parisian picture sleeve pop. This LP comprises a personnel of the legendary European session players that appeared on classic Vannier and Gainsbourg scores such as
Cannabis
,
La Horse
,
Slogan
, and
Les Chemins de Katmandou
, as well as
Histoire De Melody Nelson
itself, and his own mythical follow up LP, the truly bizarre 1973 avant-garde ballet
L'Enfant Assassin Des Mouches
. The rhythm section line-up for the album comprises
Pierre-Alain Dahan
(drums),
Dougie Wright
(drums),
Herbie Flowers
(bass),
Tony Bonfils
(bass),
Vic Flick
(guitar),
Denys Lable
(guitar and banjo), and
Marc Chantereau
(percussion). Recorded partly in Paris and partly in the UK (not unlike the classic Gainsbourg LPs) the album
Roses Rouge Sang
("Blood Red Roses") hears JCV taking care of vocal duties in his own unique style combining the macabre and the optimistic with ingenious world play and expert poetic use of the French language. Flourishing from initial rehearsal sessions for the first-ever live performance of
Histoire De Melody Nelson
,
Roses Rouge Sang
captures the authentic line-up just weeks after their initial reunion. With
Roses Rouge Sang
, JCV combines a lifetime of experience working with some of the best orchestras and pop rhythm sections in throughout the world with a return to his roots and his initial, radical ideas on how contemporary music could combine the two.
