France Chebran: French Boogie 1980-1985 (2lp)
Squeezed in between the age of disco and that of modern electronic music, French Boogie was a transitional phase, but it remains an amazingly refreshing testimony to the intermingling of pop and underground cultures. The genre was hastily categorized as anecdotal in spite of its pioneering synthetic groove and matchless bass lines. An attentive ear will discover the poetry of the ephemeral beyond the eccentricities of the genre, as well as a certain unexpected avant-gardism. Always cheerful and catchy, French Boogie is what you need to party. TRACKS: 01. Interview - Salut Des Salauds 02. Philippe Krootchey - Qu'Est Ce Qu'Il A (D'Plus Que Moi Ce Négro-Là) 03.
