About 'La Grande Roue'

After a first album that sounded like a mix of industrial rock, French chanson and gothic new wave, Nicolas Repac, an old-time collaborator of Arthur H, took time to release a second album featuring his voice and compositions. Meanwhile, he embarked in an adventure fusing electro and jazz for the cleverest album of its kind, Swing Swing (released on the No Format label) and collaborated with African singer Mamani Keita for an album that most say is one of the best thing that has come from western/african fusion since Fela teamed with Ginger Baker in the 70s, Yelema (on the No Format label too).
But, back to La grande roue. On this 2007 release, Repac kept using the wordplays that made his debut so delightful but the music is a different business. More relaxed, it's a display of an artist that keeps growing more and more assured of his voice and songwriting. One that will appeal to fans of Arthur H or CharlElie Couture yet still holding its very own personality with its mix of samples and acoustic instruments. A must hear by an artist I wish had more media coverage, he deserves it!
