classic she is no longer the little "libertine" that she was before, and if she is, she has changed tremendously. i feel that this album is the one in which mylene experiments the most and shifts to a different image as to the one she previously had. it still has the dark themes and moods some songs, but i feel that this load is somewhat lightened in this album. "regrets" to me is a classic mylene song, which is one of the reasons that make this album as great as it is. i enjoy mylene for the way she can evoke different emotions in her songs and as you listen to them, you can feel it yourself as well. "agnus dei" is also an interesting one; a track which stands out and that not many artists can pull off. . . you won't have "regrets" adding this one to your collection!. not her best, but better than anyone else's Turk about L'AUTRE being similar to Enigma -- except in the sense that Farmer & Boutonnat have taken back FROM Enigma the sound that Enigma took from Farmer's previous CD, AINSI SOIT-JE ("L;horloge" especially). I don't agree with Mr. I don't agree with Mr. Lukasziewicz that this is Farmer's best CD : AINSI SOIT-JE has a richer palette of subject matter, ANAMORPHOSEE has better songs, and INNAMORAMENTO has better everything. Still, who else out there has a song as scary -- yet rhythmic -- as "Psychiatric," or an art-rock Eurodisco ennui song as encompassing as "Desenchantee"? (recently covered, incredibly, by Irish chanteuse Kate Ryan -- amazing!) As for the downbeat, darkly orchestrated ballads in which this CD indulges, they're simply the best that "Goth" has to offer -- far profounder, darker, and more deterministic and lush than any of the predictable Nordic stuff that aspires to EBM/darkside stardom. Mylene is a unique artist, the most influential French variete performer in the world -- and L'AUTRE has much to offer;' but now go listen to INNAMORENTO -- not to mention the fantastic, recent songs she's done : "C'est une belle journee," "Effets seconfaires," "L'histoire d'une fee," "Pardonne-moi. " If you wanna hear "best," these are they!. With all due respect.. M, with little diversion in tempo or tonal variation between cuts, aside from techno background creations in seemingly every orchestrational format,which seem to key this album, aside from mylene's obvious talent,all well done,but a bit too repetituous. Well produced, with some fine in studio work, if you are inclined to a slow melodic,romantic, euro / disco mood, vaguely reminiscent of a gay bar in the 70's,or dark wet french street at 3 A.

Great Album!!!!! She has the voice of an angel. Mylene Farmer is just amazing. What I like most about her is that she is different than all the other French singers. She is definitely the best singer for me. The best track in this album is "Il N Y A Pas D Ailleurs" and "Desenchantee". Everything you need is in this album.
