Free Music Review: Coming Home is The Greatest!!
Hit: 4 Stars
When compiling music, it is common to stick to a certain `theme' for the compilation. This installment of Coming Home on the Stereo Deluxe label sees an accomplished collection of music that has been included in the French film genre, as compiled by Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague).
Excellent female contributions are seen on such compositions as Vladimir Cosma's "Maldonne," which features sweet melodies filled with strings both bowed and strung, a blissful brass section fronted with jazzy female scat-like vocals which all take place underneath a certain `Brazilian lounge' air that is represented throughout the tune.
Seven songs into today's compilation we are happily reminded that the late Piero Umiliani has left the world a much better place with a playful bossa nova number titled, "Cinque Bambole." Forming a stunning melody out of the act of `counting to five' along with an extremely rockin' groove, this summertime beach party anthem is a dusty treasure waiting to be taken out of the record bin and played until winter skies bring our warm days to an end.
Nearing the later part of our voyage through French film music via Coming Home, we couldn't have possibly overlooked Ennio Morricone's "Le Due Stagioni Della Vita," for this sweet & symphonic arrangement foretells of bright spring days after the long cold winter as embracive vocals meld into the finely-tuned strings and piano that make up the base of this beautiful piece.
Slightly prior to the end credits rolling on today's feature, we catch a small breeze, much like that off the wings of a butterfly on Philippe Sarde's "La Chanson D' Helene (Vocal Version)," which not only offers a breath of fresh air, but radiates the sensation of black & white `pictures' being played on the screen of an old-time theater.
"We must not forget the times that have past, for the small crumbs that are left behind are the building blocks of our future; Coming Home is a celebration of life and a dedication to those who've made life rich and memorable."--Brian Ball, Director of Music and Talent
Coming Home Poster
Nouvelle Vague is the exceptionally successful project of French music producers Olivier Libaux and Marc Collin. Their unusual and charming rearrangements of various new wave and post-punk classics have become classics themselves.As such, Libaux and Collin have, with help from their singers (among others Melanie Pain, Gerald Toto), bared the heart and soul of songs by Joy Division, The Clash and Blondie and translated them into chanson and bossa nova on their last two albums. For the Coming Home compilation, they have come up with the special concept of compiling 20 pieces taken from movie soundtracks. From the elegance of John Barry ("007 And Counting" from Diamonds Are Forever) to the much-sampled alien funk of Alain Goraguer ("Deshominisation" from La Planète Sauvage) to the cool sarcasm of Serge Gainsbourg ("Requiem Pur Un Con" from Le Pacha) to Vangelis' opulent "La Petite Fille De La Mer" from L'Apocalypse Des Animaux, their universe has no limits.
With this Coming Home episode, Nouvelle Vague accomplish the rare feat of creating their own oeuvre from compositions of the most diverse of masters from various decades into a homogeneous context that knows exactly how the dramaturgy of their own mind-movie works. C'est magnifique!
