Messages Personnels - Francoise Hardy

Advantages: Beautiful melodies, beautifully interpreted
Disadvantages: Some might be put off by the fact it is in French

...I bought this album out of nostalgia, as Françoise Hardy's song 'Tous les garçons et les filles' was a frequent item on the radio when I was growing up in France. And what an excellent buy it was, as I rediscovered - or perhaps more accurately discovered - the gem that is Françoise Hardy. If you like Jane Birkin, there's a good chance you will like this CD. If you have no idea who Françoise Hardy is, or what she sounds like, check out her beautiful website where you can hear extracts of songs spanning her whole career. This CD is a very good introduction to Françoise Hardy's work, as it contains a collection of her early love songs. In 22 songs, you will be under the spell of this enchantress.

Advantages: because of my experience i can voice how diabolical they are!

Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...How do you define the funniest double act of all time? It's easy really, what you have here is good old fashioned humour that doesn't involve sex, swearing or phoning an old man to boast about having sex with his grand-daughter. You can keep all you modern "so called" humour and flush it where it belongs. Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about. They kept the world laughing consistently for years and have continued to do so 60 years after their deaths. I don't know any modern "great" that I'd remember and still be talking about in a year if he disappeared today. There is one exception and I just did a review on that yesterday, but even so, it's still worlds apart. The box set is presented in a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy... Read review
