referencing Sacrebleu, CD, Album, 0630-17832-2

In my point of view, this album is a masterpiece. There is clearly a lot of work behind every single track included here. The amount of samples is quite impressive, and the way they all go together is just amazing. The whole concept is to recapture the spirit of Paris in the 50's, 60's and 70's. The music is eclectic, funny, original: a mixture of Bossa Nova, Jazz, House and Hip Hop.
Note that there are 3 versions of "Sacrebleu". This one is the original one, released in 1996. The second edition, from Atlantic Records, was released in 1998 with an alternate tracklisting: "Dirty Larry" is remixed by Crue-L Grand Orchestra, while "Free Ton Style" and "La Rythme Et Le Cadence" are replaced with "Love Love Mode" and "Back In The Daze" (two tracks originally released under the name Dimitri From Tokyo). The third version is the 2xCD special edition which includes the 98 recut, remixes and other tracks (also released in Japan with the original 96 tracklist).
This edition is more homogenic in the sound. The 98 version is fragmented with the inclusion of the "Dirty Larry" remix (which remove all the samples of the original) and "Love Love Mode" (with an obvious Japanese feel, far from the conceptual French thematic).
The original vocal samples in "Stylish Girl", taken from the movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's", can be found on the 98 release. The 96 edition had the samples recreated for copyright issues.
