Notice how Madonna's song "Music" did well but the whole album did not and French electrofunk never really caught on in the US. Some of the events that caused that phenomenon happened here. I loved this album. It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. However, I don't know if the album is great because it's the best of each of the artists included. I also don't know if this will be my stepping stone to buy more French dance music. Still, I definitely can say this album itself has me dancing my legs off. I am going to have to play it out for several months now. I recommend this album even if I don't have proof that people should investigate the entire genre. One pet peeve, the design of the CD is supposed to reflect the French flag, but instead of using blue, they use purple. Somebody is not up on their knowledge of flags.
My brother lent this cd to me a few years ago when it came out, and I bought it right away. This is a great dance cd. French house music is the game here, and the cd is chalk full of great tunes by great DJs and artists! It's not all French house but the majority of it is. The tracks by We In Music, Demon, Alan Braxe, Daft Punk and Cassisus are all shining moments on the disc. The inclusion of "The Music's Sounds Better With You" is ok, but the song is readily available and overplayed. Also Air's "Modular Mix" is out of place here. Most of the songs are well known so it's not a cd that is known for having rare or unknown house/dance tracks, still it's a worthy compilation worth seeking out.
French House sound wave at it's best! No wonder why Madonna herself is so much in love with it... Get the cd and find out all about it. The entire cd and specially We in Music by Grandlife is a creme bruile for the ears.
This is a generally good CD, however, there are alot of songs with just repetitive elements, like words or instruments. My fav song is "grandlife" by we in music. So, buy this cd if you REALLY like techno / french techno. otherwise, you will be bored. This is also very good for parties.
