5 out of 5 stars An Exceptional Album.......2000-07-18

Ok, so you've got to be wondering... Rap? In French? How could this possibly be good? Well... it is, and this album is an excellent introduction to french rap. French is an absolutely beautiful and poetic language, and when done right, rap just flows like water. It's smooth, powerful and continuous.

I first heard Pole Position in a music store in Switzerland, and was immediately hooked. The songs are beautiful, the music is excellent, and, if you understnad french, the lyrics are great. The CD is quite varried in it's musical styles, moving from fast moving rap to slower, more emotional songs. All in all, a well produced and varied album. It's an awsome introduction to french rap... and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys international music and rap.

4 out of 5 stars A fresh tast of FRENCH rap.......2000-06-30

Aprýs trois ans d'absence, Sens Unik revient sur le devant de la scýne avec l'album Pýle position . Certifiý disque d'or en Suisse, cet album annonce le retour en France du groupe fer de lance de la scýne rap helvýtique. Des retrouvailles uniques pour Sens Unik qui avait pour un temps dýlaissý la scýne franýaise et qui rýve de reconquýrir l'hexagone. L'album est excellent, oscillant enrte les rhymes disoc, funk, et d'autres compositions plus sombres. Les thýmatiques sont abordýes de faýon plus mýtaphoriques que celles du rap hexagonal, ce qui renouvelle le genre francophone.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Foreign Rap.......2000-05-31

Rap... in french? You bet. I picked up this record while perusing a music shop in switzerland and was immediately impressed with the sampling, the poetic qualities of the lyrics, and the awsome tunes. This is an exceptional CD. It's powerful.

The record is well balanced, mixing both fast and powerful songs with slower more mellow ones. All of the tracks have attitude and are lyrically and musically strong. It's not everyday you hear lyrics which work Mr. Magoo and Scoobydoo into a song... and yet Sens Unik still pulls it off.

If you don't understand french, much of this CD may be lost on you... but if you do, you should definately pick it up. It's a great disc.
