MusicNouvelle Vague 'Bande a Part'Jun 14, '06 8:36 AM
for everyone
With a name that means "new wave" in English and "bossa nova" in Portuguese, Nouvelle Vague's moniker neatly sums up the group's concept: remaking classic new wave singles with a Brazilian pop twist. Nouvelle Vague is the brainchild of French producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Prior to this collaboration, Collin played with the trip-hop outfit Ollano; composed film soundtracks such as The Kidnapper's Theme; and released electronic music ranging from club-oriented material for Paper Recordings to more eclectic fare for Fcom and Output Records (under the aliases Avril and Volga Select, respectively). Libaux played with various French pop bands during the '90s and began working with Collin in 1998. For Nouvelle Vague, Collin and Libaux recruited half a dozen French and Brazilian vocalists who were unfamiliar with the original versions of songs like Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and XTC's "Making Plans for Nigel" to ensure that their renditions had their own identity.

Now return with their 2nd installment, consisting of 'new' old materials. True to their 80s post punk/new wave/goth interpretation concept, Bande a Part boasting obscure tracks from the likes of The Wake (of Factory Record legacy) with its serenading melody 'O Pamela' (the best track on the album!), Lord Of The New Church's Dance With Me, and Bauhaus' macabre anthem 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'.

Renditions of other well known post-punk glory hits are evident here. A Samba killer of Buzzcocks' Ever Falling In Love. Blondie's Heart Of Glass got an irresistable treatment. Also The Cramps' Human Fly completely got dressed-up elleganty, you wouldn't recognize it from the orignal tunes.

In all, here's another smooth, sassy and suave collection of tunes that'll chilled and mellowed those sunday morning coming down session. Enjoy!
