RELEASE DATE
6/8/1998
Following her spectacular recording career for the Saravah label, ending with the unfindable
Les églantines Sont Peut-être Formidables
in 1977, Brigitte Fontaine appeared to leave the music business for a decade or so, to return w/ a string of albums on French Virgin in the '90s (including
Genre Humain
in 1995,
Les Palaces
in 1997,
Le Nougat
&
Morceaux de Choix
in 1999). For
Les Palaces
her long time partner Areski Belkacem produced, wrote all the music and provides percussion. A group of studio musicians (including Gong's Didier Malherbe) provide a modern digital pop context that is quite advanced compared to her classic work, but not impossible to deal with if you're willing to accept it. There's subtly d'n'b-influenced programming that isn't a million miles away from the sort of vibe created on Stereolab's
Dots And Loops
as well, and this is a nice contemporary addition to the Fontaine shelf.
