Rating: - Great Compilation
I was surprised that someone else mentioned this is a great album for driving. When I take the bimmer for a drive to the lake which is about an hour away, this music is the music that will be playing. Great jazz fuzion without being too pretentious and perfect background music for a party or of course the drive... Consider this recommended!
Rating: - Raw, unrefined, and quite fun!
Raw, unrefined, and quite fun. French electronic is unique in its mix of modern beats with classical bend. Some songs quickly become different midstream. The mix is unique for those who appreciate music on an ADD level.

I had to listen to the CD several time to get a grip of the newness of this sound. Afterwards, it all became quite clear - and quite addictive too!

Rating: - loungy beats for beautiful people sipping martinis
What a great album. Perfect for bridging that section of the night between cocktails and candy. If you're a fan of the Nordic Lounge series you'll love this, and so will your guests. Four big fat stars from me.
Rating: - Awesome music!
I've only had this for about a month, and it has already become one of my favorites!Very relaxing, without being boring.That is something that most mellow music can not pull off -

Before I bought it, I expected all of the lyrics to be in French.Much to my surprise, no French words were on the album.This is not a bad thing, but this is something that wanna-be listeners should be aware of.
Rating: - Great Ecstatic Serenity and Danceability
This is a CD without a bad track. It sounds well-made, classy, carefully chosen, etc. It's 2006 and it feels newer still with breathes of fresh starlit-lively dreamy Paris cityscape groove. It has a sort of a dance-oriented, upmood Airy accent but differently French too (maybe a bit more mainstreamably-listenable).
