Nouvelle Vague

Nouvelle Vague - Nouvelle Vague: Available at www.tunes.co.uk, the dance specialists: "Take 13 songs from the UK's 1978-81 post punk / new wave era, from bands including XTC, The Specials, PiL, Dead Kennedys, Depeche Mode, Killing Joke and so on, and re-record them in an authentic bossa nova style, with the abrasive vocals from the all-male originals interpreted by a selection of sweet sounding French chanteuses. It's a concept that ought to stink like catfood but strangely, doesn't. "
