Awesome album (Note the picture on Amazon is for an abbreviated album with less tracks). I recently bought the 23 song album with illustrated book by Wozniak, and love it.
The style is much more 'chilled' than Manu's other albums, and the best way I can describe it is 'Manu unplugged' though I am not sure that does it justice.
It is full of catchy beats and lyrics, and features awesome guitar with a light eclectic smattering of other instruments from Manu's fellow musicians that form Radio Bemba.
Superb
Although I am not a French speaker, the music is just very original, sometimes very catchy and the use of the language very colourful. A significant change in Manu Chao's music, but still, Manu Chao is always recognisable. Happy to have it in my Manu collection, it was definitely worth the money ! .
Not expected, but still great.
It took a few listens to get into the rhythms and the flow but once I did, I found myself hooked on such catchy tunes like 'J'ai Besoin De La Lune' and 'Il Faut Manger. On this album, Mnau Chao takes things down a notch, creating beautiful music albeit lighter and slower. '
Despite the album being all in French, Manu Chao succeeds again in making great music that transcends languages. .
Not as expected
Surely it is an interesting work. A normal collection of songs in Manu Chao's style, but not so different from what I expected.
