Musique De Paris Derniere: The Best Of / Various Musique De Paris Derniere: The Best Of / Various CD

The Paris Derniere series is something of a phenomenon in France, If you are not out on a Friday evening, you can catch the spirit of the moment on TV. Host Frederic Taddei trawls the streets of Paris with a digital camera and a celebrity in tow, looking out for areas of action, preferred haunts, impromptu parties and the like. The show is set to music, and this is the domain of Beatrice Ardisson, a switched on DJ with an ear for quality and a taste for the whacky. The Paris Derni?re collection is an assemblage of cover versions only, but the originality is in the quality and the range of choice; audacious juxtapositioning! This is the Best of the series, which so far covers four volumes. Artists include Jose Feliciano, Fantastic Plastic Machine, the Boogie Macs, Prozac for Lovers, Patricia Barber, Stereo Total, Joey Ramome and more. Exquisite packaging, with little expense spared. 17 tracks. Naive. 2007.
