Editorial Reviews

The word delirious is perhaps tossed around too casually in '90s dance music, but Sacrebleu earns the description. Dimitri patches together everything from lounge sounds to techno, with plenty of ear-tickling verbal samples to keep things hopping. Too much of a good thing at 70-plus minutes, perhaps, but you'll even enjoy the hangover. --Rickey Wright

"I am a very stylish girl.".......2007-01-16

fun jazzy dance music including sampling of voices such as from "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "...I am a very stylish girl...", "...How do I look?..."

Sacre Bleu!!!.......2007-01-16

I must say I'm amazed! this is an awesome addition to any collection.
I work night shifts and use this music as a tempo wake me up

I play it a least 1 time a shift.

"love, love, love - amore, amore, amore".......2006-01-22

The spoken word in the hidden song is from the gorgeous Anita Ekberg in the movie 'La Dolce Vita.' The snaps are camera flashbulbs of the papparazzi as the reporters are interviewing her.

this an imaginative CD.......2005-10-21

this is an very imaginative CD... can't believe it's orginally released in the early 90's

Paris Paris Paris, Ec te France.......2004-10-30

Ce matin La....oh, sorry.
Dimitri has been an arhetype in flowing electronic funk for a while. And this being one of his later albums is no exception. He incorporates smooth funk with olde-time parisian groove into such magical coordination you'd think you were in the Bohemian city itself in 1966. Almost all tracks include "mixes" from either French or American cinema (Une Very Stylish Fille being a perfect example from Audrey Hepburn's 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'). But with that being said, there are some tracks that appear rather redundant in their mixing, and can get abrasive at times. But with the majority being a smooth Jet-Set I'm-Frank-Sinatra-and-I-can-do-what-I-want theme, this album will be an original addition to the mod electro-philes out there looking for something more bohemian and less blase (that's a french word right?).

Sacre wha....?.......2006-09-26

I picked up this CD on one of my random Amazon shopping sprees. Think of a sonic collision between the Propellerheads and an Ultra Lounge CD. Good party background music, with a few danceable tunes. Creativity bonus points:Dimitri manages to go an entire CD without sampling James Brown! This must be a first in this genre. I am so happy this has been reissued lately so that I can give a copy to a few friends of mine.

One of The Most Masterful Recordings Of All Time.......2005-07-16

Really it does not matter the price, if you are fortunate to afford this 2 CD set spectacular by the incredibly talented Dimitri don't waste another moment and buy it! Think of Claude Challe with a sense of humor and you have Sacrebleu. Now don't get me wrong I love Claude Challe and own most of his recordings even at the prices which you have to pay for them. Dimitri is on another planet from Claude when spinning his tunes although they do reside in the same galaxy. Dimitri's style is to spin tunes which are are like a breeze and a blast blowing through your speakers at the same time. True genius and real fun too!

Muzicboy.......2000-12-06

This version of Sacrebleu is the best I have found. There are several different imports from which to choose. If you are looking for a totally funky/dance album then don't buy this one. This album is more along the true Parisian style. There are a lot of slow jazzy tracks which flow like honey over the stereo. If you are interested in music for more than just a fast beat then this is a must have. Plus the case is very cool. Nice art.

Get the 2 CD Box Set.......2000-06-11

This album by itself is an awesome listen. I think I have about wore a groove in my copy. But the thing that puts it over the top are the remixes. They are fresh without becoming repetative. As happens often with remixes, there are mixs I like more then the orginals. Pay the extra and get the box set.

Spectra-Q-Lar "Equisses" For Sheer Parisian Pleasure!.......2000-05-02

"Hello There and Welcome to the exciting world of hip thisis a new departure in language instruction for English speaking peoplewho want to talk to... be understood by: jazz musicians, hipsters, beatniks juvenile delinquents and the criminal fringe" so goes the scratchy intro to the ultimate cocktail party soundtrack.

Super chic "esquisses" of the Parisian life where mystery adventure and romance await around the corner with the Eiffel Tower looming in the distance. The CD is a bit like listening to a very diverse soundtrack of a fantasy about Paris or the French in general. A virtual "Bou-fait" of hip tunes, trippy disco, spicy congas, and deep house making for a very smooth mix, with the sort of sophistication we have come to expect of the French and especially Monsieur "Dim" himself.

Unlike his other works like Mixmag's De-Luxe House Of Funk and his newly released "A Night At The Playboy Mansion" which are both mix albums Sacre Francais' 2 CD set is a cohesive set of songs that flow seamlessly by hilariously cool samples from French Television and/or Films, think Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle with a house soundtrack. On "Nothing To Lose" we get ingenue Atlantique ( Claudette Longet?) from Peter Seller's film "The Party". The CD is loungey and smoky for sure, but it is upbeat funny and clever too! Sampling Audrey Hepburn from "Breakfast At Tiffany's" on Une Stylish Fille, also used by Volvo for a commercial.

FUN FUN FUN.......2003-09-10

like the title suggests, this album makes you think "Oh my God!" why haven't I heard this before!!! Great for parties or just relaxing at home. Takes you clubbing to sipping absinthe in 50's Paris. Give it a listen!

Fantastic Modern Lounge At Its Best !!!!!.......2003-06-23

Today's "Lounge" music may be electronic, but most of the artists still pull both inspiration and sounds from vintage musicians of the past such as Henry Mancini, Les Baxter, John Barry, and Martin Denny. "Sacrebleu" is a stellar example of just how well this mixture can work.

Before you even listen to the CD, the cover art gives you an idea of what to expect, with its 1950's lounge font and spoof on RCA's then-famous "Living Stereo" logo (here it is Yellow Stereo).

The songs will sweep you backwards in time to a swank, dimly lit, smoke-filled Parisian lounge circa-1960, with just enough modern electronics to bring you home again. There are plenty of great samples, slow electronic beats (picture an old Moog perhaps), french dialogue, and organs to satisfy those young hipsters hanging out in New York City's more exclusive jazz clubs. Yet, the album is smooth enough to please those retro-chic fans still spining original vinyl copies of "Martinis With Mancini."

Volvo fans will rejoice with the single "Une Very Stylish Fille," as heard in the S80 ads a few years ago. The track includes a great sample of Audrey Hepburn asking the question "How do I look?" and sounds like something right out of her movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's." The other single "Sacre Francais" has a simillar vibe.

The single "Dirty Larry" is my favorite by far, as it evokes the 60's spy music produced by John Barry, Edwin Astley, and Lalo Schifrin. Vintage driving bass, harpsichord, and a chilling Moog-sounding lead synthline. Just picture the bad guys in an old black Peugeot sedan chasing the hero spy in his green MGB down the winding streets of Paris, and you've got this song.

"Monsieur Dimitri Joue Du Stylophone" is a perfect short for those who love vintage keyboards. "Nothing To Lose" sounds like Herp Albert working with that other great french band, AIR. There are two versions, one with breathy female vocals and a bonus instrumental.

"Reveries" is a mild drum and bass (picture an Aphex Twin remix of something by AIR or The Art Of Noise perhaps). "Un Woman's Paradis" is a dance number that sounds like some of Martin Denny's late 70's works. Very upbeat with organs and piano, but little percussion.

Another great standout track is "Un World Mysteriouse" with a haunting, otherworldly sound simillar to Mancini's "Experiment In Terror."

The entire album is a delight to listen to and the perfect chill-album for your next cocktail party. This album is best listened to with the lights down low, some candles, and a cocktail in hand. A must for both modern and vintage lounge / exotica fans alike. If you like AIR and Etienne DeCrecy or Les Baxter and Martin Denny, give this CD a listen.

WOW.......2001-09-02

My sister turned me onto this cd....it is really an auditory sensation to listen to...out there on the edge and takes you with it. Reminded me of sitting on the boulevard in Paris. You want to take a continental trip and not leave your home? Willing to take a stretch for some really interesting music? Then this is the cd for you. You will love it, and remember, I AM A VERY STYLISH GIRL!

Retro at its best.......2001-07-04

I too emailed Volvo to find out who the artist was. I had heard the song before on the radio but never knew who it was. I don't know if anyone has realized it or not but the woman stating "I am a very stylish girl" is Patricia Neal and George Peppard follows with "I must say, you are amazing" from Breakfast at Tiffany's - and "How do I look" is Audrey Hepburn. Such a fun 60's retro CD that everyone should have available to pop into their CD player when throwing a party. Break out your cigarette holder and don a feather boa and invite the whole neighborhood!

tres parisien ma cherie.......2000-06-10

It has a special place this album as you can listen to it again and again and again..trip hop, easy and so chic Darling behind my glasses in the Peugeot 103 alongside the coast of the south of France...It make you feel very stylish! indeed

this is an album i've been looking for for 2 years. i found it in a dingy record store and bought it on the spot. Sacrebleu picks up slices from about 23 genres, so nothing sounds repetitive. blending 60's french riviera beach beatnik surfer party groves with sampled conversations sounds absurd, but really works here. there is no other album like it and you can't say that about much else. a must for any party thrower whose sick of playing moby or fatboy slim
