"The Flowers of Evil"
Few projects at the cutting edge of today's art really push the visceral sound boundaries as Yves Tumor has done throughout the last decade. With a universe that lay between industrial rock and hypnagogic pop, comparisons only served as limits to define what could not be defined. Yves Tumor, on the roof of the world, laughing at everything, mixing restraint and chaos; diluting reality by giving meaning to the abstract, allowing dissonance to be seen and heard as ... read more

« I want to conquer the world! » Dua Lipa, 2017.
To say that mainstream pop music is completely dead might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I wouldn't be totally against it. In any case, it has been going through a severe artistic vacuum for several years now. Between its old idols who are breaking their reputation on inaudible albums (Katy Perry), others who are trying to stand out at all costs (Miley Cyrus, Rihanna), mainstream pop has welcomed a whole army of new artists who are ... read more

THANK YOU FOR 500 !!! (big review coming at the end of this week)
Impenetrable phoenix of electronic elegance, Nicolás Jaar is reborn from his ashes through a bewitching album, an exploration without limits, revealing an ever deeper and dreamlike universe. While the quarantine forces us to remain alone to reflect, to question ourselves, Jaar offers us a dark soundscape more introspective than ever.
This is only a farewell. Many have danced to his hit "Mi Mujer" or vibrated ... read more

100% PURE BOOMER-CORE
100% MUSIC THAT I LOVE
In France, being a Billy Joel fan is no picnic. In this country, the simple evocation of "Piano Man" is necessarily accompanied by an embarrassed silence or by a "WHAT!???! This guy's a fucking 'has-been', SHAME ON YOU!". Here, frenchie pitchforks often calls him "the worst pop singer of all time", some pretentious intellectuals even speak of "a plague on sound waves more contagious than the West Nile virus" ... read more

What album do you think would be the perfect anthem to THE END OF THE WORLD?
Apr 3, 2020
Je pense qu il y aura que mon album préféré qui aura 100, juste pour dire que c’est celui qui se différencie ! (Abbey Road). En réalité il y a beaucoup de chef d’oeuvre qui mérite un 100, mais la perfection absolu n existe pas, il y a toujours quelques choses à dire. Pour moi un album qui possède une note de 98 c est presque pareil. Du moment où ça dépasse les 90, je l ai considère comme une masterpiece !
Et toi, j ai vu tes perfect scores (excellent choix), quelle est ta vision des choses sur la notation que t applique ? :)

C'est normal, je me régale avec vos (tes) reviews, en plus vous (ou tu) avez été le premier à m'encourager! Oui je pense que pour nos shouts, nous pouvons parler français ! Moi je suis situé à Grenoble ! Le confinement se passe bien, on ne va pas se plaindre, j'ai plus de temps pour écrire ! Content que ça se passe bien pour vous (toi)
