The late Serge Gainsbourg, his basso-profundo vocals marinated in cigarette smoke, was the priapic Parisian prince of the put-on, an erotic poet-philosopher who deliberately couched his most outrageous lyrics in syrupy melodies. He first achieved international notoriety with "Je t'aime, Moi Non Plus," wherein he and Jane Birkin simulated coitus, delighting horny adolescents and dirty old men everywhere. Ever the experimenter, he traveled to Jamaica in 1979 and enlisted the services of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, probably the greatest reggae rhythm section of all time, and the I-Threes, Bob Marley's female back-up trio. Gainsbourg thoroughly offended right-wingers by snarling and moaning his way through his country's national anthem, with the non-French-speaking I-Threes piping an offhand "Aux armes--et cetera" at the chorus. This two-CD reissue includes dub B-sides plus fiery new interpretations from King Stitt, Big Youth, and other superstars. But even amongst such august company, Serge rules! --Christina Roden

Mellow Gold.......2007-03-12
!??! How can Serge Gainsbourg be so great? This is the ultimate treat. This music will chill you out like nothing else while at the same time injecting a subtle euphoric mania into your bloodstream. Serge employs all things kick back here, you will not be left unfazed. Tune in and sit back as you drift into a rhythmic cloud of tight dopamine pleasing drums, kicky smooth bass love, Serge's signature spoken word, and back up vocals that make dreams come true. You need this, I need this, the whole world needs it.
Outstanding.......2006-05-04
The second CD is pretty superflous though unless you are really into dub, which I'm not. Chances are you'll never really listen to it when you've got the album proper on the first disc. Overall the album itself is highly recommended, probably one of Serge's best five efforts.
a truly great record.......2004-04-27
a great record.......2004-04-27
The second disc is a complete reworking of the first - complete with dub mixes that are wonderful and DJ/Singer versions from some of the biggest stars in jamaican music. So basically you have it all in one package.
Its a classic record that's been added to in a tasteful and groundshaking way.

Serge goes to Jamaica!.......2005-09-20
This is truly one of his best albums and one he's remembered for in France. Of course, he plays a lot with the words and everything may not appear as good as it is if you don't speak French but on this album just the music is already enough.
marley and tosh are singing french lyrics in heaven.......1998-08-06
A french Reggae Masterpiece, by a major French artist.......1998-06-16
It received an exceptional welcome when it came out, and most French people between 20 and 40 have this album at home. Older French conservatists hated it, of course.
For Americans, this might be the easiest album to get introduced to Gainsbourg, because the sound is more reggae than French. But entertain no illusion: if you don't speak French, you'll only get skin deep into "Gainsbar"'s genius.
