This album from the French pair of artists (Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel) is a great chillout CD. Many of the songs have no lyrics are are simply a keyboard and a bass guitar comining to make a jazzy and ambient sound. The songs sound quite experimental and although relaxing are not boring. One of my favorite songs "All I Need" is from this album, the lyrics are in English and sung by Beth Hirsch who has a beautiful voice. The tracks such as La Femme D'argent and Talisman which are purely instrumental are some of the best to listen to because the focus is more on the music than the lyrics. However, the lyrics where they are used are thought provoking and have a good sound. The band's name stands for Amour, Imagination, Rêve, which means Love, Imagination, Dream. These sentiments definitely come across in this album.
