Title: Samedi Soir Sur La Terre
Columbia, ©1994 Chandelle productions
Genre: French Pop, Jazz
I bought this album while I was living in France in 1996 and 97. It was very popular at the time, and it would play on the radio a lot. I have since listened to it any time I wanted to go back to France. I have never been back since, but this recording helps me to "get back" so to speak. I have a lot of fond memories of my time there.
In any case, last night I figured I would pull it out again for a listen. I had the lights turned low, and sat back to enjoy. I had not listened to this since I got my Martin Logans, and it was quite a surprise! The detail of the guitar, and the hits on the drums were palpably evident. The beats were steady, and quick, the lyrics witty, thoughtful, and even romantic at times. One of my favorites has always been "Je t'aimais, je t'aime, je t'aimerai" (I loved you, I love you, I will love you). I also really enjoyed the title track, Samedi soir sur la terre. The lyrics are found on Francis's website:

There are also two songs that have clips on the website. In any case, I was most pleasantly surprised to hear just how good it sounded on the Mosaics and the Grotto. I am sure that it would sound just as wonderful, or even better on some larger ESL's. Have a listen and let me know what you think!
