Motorbass are a great group -- deeply soulful, with gated sounds and unusual instrumentation like Harpsichord... Flying Fingers and esp. Les Ondes are supercool.

Review by perdi Nov 16, 2002
Madrid, 1999. A French friend came to visit me. He played me 'Pansoul'. It changed my life. As a musician, I was experimenting with synths and samplers ..... it changed my 'vision' ..... it was the first time I *truly* felt I could use the two words 'electronic' and 'music' together.
So pleased I found it.

Review by fred566 Sep 22, 2002
Philippe Zdar & Etienne de Crecy are the best representatives of the French House sound. Both are pioneers. I like the album Pansoul very much, because the beat is going up and crazy slooowwwly.... They did a very good remix of Isobel (Björk). The voice + the beats... super extra cool ! If you like Motorbass, you'll also like Cassius : http://www.astralwerks.com/cassius/default.html
They're not that famous in France... Zdar, Crecy, Boombass (Sinclair's Brother) are only know by people who really listen to fair techno music.

see ya!

Fred
