Reviews
- St. Germain’s BOULEVARD remains a seminal house album, a sultry fusion of house and jazz that still holds up today. From the first few keys of “Deep In It,” we hear the cool jazz slide swiftly seamlessly into the beat, and the vibraphone keeps ringing throughout. But “Thank U Mum (4 Everything You Did)” takes its sweet time, letting the vocal sample and bassline linger for a full third of the track before the keys chime in and the beat kicks, allowing room for the vocals to hang in the space, buoyed by the harmonica. A slow groove keeps the slinky “Street Scene (4 Shazz)” shuffling for its 15 minute run time, as different instruments come to take over: a soulful flute, a few piano chords, a saxophone, an electric bass. “Easy To Remember,” though, gets down to business immediately with its smoky saxophone, double bass, and mournful spoken word sample. “Sentimental Mood” stays more upbeat throughout, and “What’s New” offers a snapshot of the house scene in 1996 with an informational spoken word. Things slow down considerably with “Dub Experience II,” which stays true to its name, but it’s “Forget It’ that closes out the album on a slower, funky note which you won’t forget. Once you’ve heard it once, you’ll stroll down this boulevard for years to come.
- Someone tell me where is the talent of saint germain? Listen to the song "Dave Brubeck - Take five" and come back to me... enough said!
- St Germain is the stage name of Ludovic Navarre (Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 1973), a French musician. His music is a fusion of acid jazz, nu jazz and deep house, and can in a broader sense also called to the lounge music.
- Ludovic Navarre, an unparalleled talent, paladin for what we call in French "Musique de très haute qualité." When it's about High Quality Music, no matter the genre, the rule is simple: let's go Deep In It. Have, for example, the chance to appreciate this unique combination of Acid Jazz & Deep House music pieces. It's like these sounds have been here waiting for your exult, with pure joy. Don't miss the chance to dig on two of the author's albums under St. Germain moniker - this one, 'Boulevard', and 'Tourist'. You won't be disappointed.
- Visionary. If you never listened to 'What's New?' on a loud system with your friends, well just stop reading this and just do it -- life changer.
