3 stars 1. A Jeun by the great Jacques, who will be the most covered man here; a bluesy alcoholic tune about a serious and oh-so-banal fact, a story of deception or almost with a character whose despair, cowardice, sadness are kindly pointed out, take your pick; well, the synth and André advise against going through with it, come on, in terms of sound, I'm thinking of the great Charlélie too. 2. Le Rouge Et Le Noir by the great Claude for a tantalizing swing-rock tune with melting riff and synth, the hard-hitting riff and the amazing guitar solo that transports me, yes, there's some good in it. 3. Le Bal Des Laze by the great Michel for the killer intro; a build-up with an incorporated pad, the keyboard that finally resembles ANGE, ah, if only all the songs had had this variation, this suavity, this refinement!!!! Well, I'll let loose for the finale, but I think it's really refined and the best, as you'll have understood; Jean-Claude overdoes the pad rolls, Serge the neck of his guitar, a Stratocaster? In short, a beautiful stylistic exercise, a delightful build-up just the way we like it, and this mid-tempo with a dark wave, cold wave flavor, yes, this song is just the one that will send all other covers to the bottom of the drawer; ah, that finale with the guitar that speaks, that speaks, that rises and never ends, ah, that soaring, ah, dying of pleasure, and that ending that never ends; a cover, but a beautiful cover.

4. Le Moribond by the great Jacques, wanting to recreate these people? In short, a cover for the band that's searching for itself; the most energetic beat, the synth and the guitar very much in the 80s spirit, a good stylistic exercise for the moving cover. 5. Les Copains D'abord by the great Georges on a nervous, impulsive ska rock tune that denotes the original song, so suave, but with just as many stings; In short, the pad and keyboard work together to give energy to this band that is changing members a little dangerously. 6. Tu Te Laisses Aller by the great Charles with this hyper violent, hard lyrics, about this torrid, treacherous relationship, well staged; the keyboard throws out the riff and lets Christian take on what any man might think one day of his fiancée; so be careful, gentlemen, she might think the same thing; in short, don't let yourself go and listen to this keyboard solo, very much in tune with the times! The prog finale with Serge's always tenacious guitar. 7. Il Est Cinq Heures Paris S'Eveille by the great Jacques, not the other one! A keyboard forward and muted, the guitar that squirts like the poop scoopers who passed by at 5 o'clock when the city was dirty or cleaner than today! The energetic new-wave pop cover is proven with the Flash-like synth note, the alarm clock, and the pinched voice for the monolithic, cheerful title; the moment to realize how a pop song can actually become prog...
