Tales from the Library - Episode 2: France

Published

February 25, 2015

From Italy, we are crossing the Alps in our Library Music digging effort and we are landing straight into the burning heart of France. Here, we encounter eccentric progressive visions, intense existentialist dialogues in jazz and quite a good amount of refreshing gallic humour. Those french sure have a good taste for timeless refrains and contagious rhythms. With a philosophical twist.

In my opinion, this music is best enjoyed with bottle of Bordeaux and a thin, warm light. Goes well if you want to throw Sartre quotes into the conversation, but Verlaine or Rimbaud should go well too for some parts. A pair of vintage, wooden speakers would be beneficial to the listening as well.

Bref… "de la musique avant toute chose".…
