Topic: Jacques Cousteau Posted: February 07 2016 at 16:55
Inspired by Dennis' recent French flavoured poll I bring you this!
Looking round my collection for French albums I realised just how MANY different artists I had to chose from. I have a fair bit of albums left that I had to leave out simply due to lack of space. What a wonderful country!
I'll post these three buggers to start things off nicely:

Une liste splendide, mon ami. En rapport avec le titre Jacques Cousteau, je voudrais ajouter "L'Antarctique", une partition originale composée par François de Roubaix pour le film de Cousteau, mais finalement rejetée par l'ami des poissons qui n'avait aucun goût musical.
Wow...I am pretty surprised to see the votes up until now. Gustavo went with Jean-Cohen Solal Great choice btw - I just didn't think anyone knew him here (apart from Greg (Logan) and John the mellotron).
Thomas voting for One Shot? Again...did not see that coming!
Stand By is in the lead but I did expect that. Still a fave of mine and one I keep returning to on a weekly basis.
Thanks for that link Pierre - I genuinely enjoyed that. Felt like a deep immersion into the ocean. One more for the list eh?
Seeing as John already mentioned Lard Free, I thought I'd post a tune of theirs together with a couple others I think are waaaay too obscure:

And I like Triode very much as well. Actually I just saw that they were there... almost made me want to change the vote.
But I do admit that the rest is unknow to me. Now I have homework.

Thanks Dave for exposing so many French bands I've never even heard before in a great poll! Looks like I have a lot of listening to do

A pretty excellent list.
I'm a sucker for mid period Art Zoyd, so berlin is my choice.

I have the temptation to vote for Stivell. His "E Dulenn" is an album that I've listened to a lot of times and the second track "Delivrance" is very good.
