Funny Little Frenchmen, Noveau Vague 20 ans apres le fait.......2006-12-08

This is a great album. It's like vintage Depeche Mode or New Order in all it's arch hip goofiness, only very slightly darker, not quite as pop (but very close! Not to worry!) in French & twenty years late..

Or is it late? It all started with those crazy French to begin with, no? Back in the sixties? Isn't New Wave nothing more than Rive Gauche artiness, androgyny, faux intellectuallism & caberet style (clothes! make up! hair!) all fused with that punk rock sensibility? Maybe it's not late, just perpetual?

It's great stuff, anyhow. Dig it, man. Dig it. Creuse-le, mon frere.

Heh heh.

Let me just reccomend you cue up the title track "Paradize," then "Mao Boy!" (Mao Boy! Love the title!) and "J'ai Demandé À La Lune" (FANTASTIC song - "Je n'ai pas grand chose à te dire, et pas grand chose pour te faire rire, car j'imagine toujours le pire et le meilleur me fait souffrir.." Such angst, quelle tristesse! Those poor tortured little Frenchboys..)

Then there is the gorgeously titled "Popstitute" (heh heh - no English speaking band would dare, probably, which is why I thank God we have the French & Germans..) a slightly bouncy incessant tune, garnished with electronic effects. I like the last song, Un Signe En Hiver, too, which opens with a minute of piano accompanied singing before the drum machine kicks in and drives us to a slight uptempo finish.

Those are the honorable mentions. If you enjoy retro 80's music and like French, then this is the band (and album) for you. Achete-le.

C'est par ici que tout recommencera! By far their best!.......2005-06-12

Through the ups and downs with the band over the years Nicola Sirkis has done a great job perservering, and has finally come out on top! I love the new line-up, the new style of music, and the new image... I love it all. OK, so these guys come across as big bad hard core punk/goth rockers at first impression, but not to worry. They're completely harmless. They're Frenchmen. And as Frenchmen do best, they talk of love, passion, and romance.

The music might sound a bit heavier when you first put it on, but you'll quickly get used to the new sound and actually come to embrace it after a few listens. For me it only took two. Some of the songs are hard and fast and then some of them are beautiful and slow. I play Paradize almost every day. It's a great pick-me-upper. There's a youthful spirit, great energy, and great emotion all pent up in this album. So when you play it, play it LOUD!

As usual, when Nicola sings, one always listens to what he has to say. The hermit lifestyle, quite a popular theme in Paradize, never sounded so good and so cool. In a handful of songs, Nicola talks much of staying indoors, locked up, with great fear of the outside world. His lyrics have always served as great inspiration, as well as great insight into some small corners of life. They still do. Some of them may end up meaning something special to you. A few examples are:
- "On se disait quelquefois que c'etait juste une aventure, et que ca ne durerait pas." (J'ai Demande a la Lune)
- "Moi je veux vivre un peu plus fort." (Marilyn)
In Punker, he will ask you several times, "Est-ce que tu viendrais faire le sexe avec moi?" What will you answer? A bit of a bite from Patti LaBelle's 'Lady Marmalade' but definitely one of my most favorite sing-a-long Indo songs.

This album does not disappoint. It still continues on with the Indochine legacy. They do a great job at keeping the new wave/punk/underground/industrial spirit alive in the new millenium.
I'm wishing they were better known in North America, but Quebec will have to do for now. Impatiently and anxiously awaiting the next album and their next visit to Montreal!

An amazing album from the French rock superstars.......2003-11-28

The music on this CD is really amazing, and unlike that produced by any US or British rock band I've heard. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, it's worth buying this album just for the music. Having previously heard their Le Best Of album, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this album is quite different: less upbeat but more mature. Each song, from beginning to end, is special.

Paradize - that's where you end up, listening to this album........2003-11-25

Lyrics are great, arrangements are excellent, the songs are awesome. A new Indochine. I picked my CD in Quebec while visiting. What a great album to listen to at home or on the road! I also picked the Rita Mitsouko CD and enjoyed the various beats and sounds from both albums. French techno with excellent lyrics.

this cd is a must have for the so called music fans!.......2003-10-27

I heard about them in 1986-1987; then i rediscovered them in 2002. I listened to all the songs of the latest cd (paradize) and they are absolutely fine. when i was listening to the cd, they remind me a little bit of depeche mode. I recommend to all you that you must go and get this cd because it is worth it.

I LOVE INDOCHINE!!!.......2003-11-25

This is an awesome cd! I wish more north americains would listen to it! I Think it is WAY better then most of the crap you here on the radios here :)

Indo For Ever !.......2002-11-26

Après une série de catastrophes, quelques albums passés plutôt inaperçus et un mépris généralisé de la part de la presse, Indochine est de retour avec Paradize, chef-d'oeuvre qui est peut-être même leur meilleur album en carrière. Le beau Nicola Sirkis, éternel adolescent et seul "survivant" de la glorieuse époque des années 80, a durci le son de ses guitares et affirmé la tendance gothique prise par son groupe : cela nous donne des chansons très rythmées, "hits" absolus (Popstitute, Marylin),des ballades hypnotiques (Le Grand secret, J'ai demandé à la lune), des morceaux pop joussifs (Mao Boy !) et quelques perles étranges (Un singe en hiver, écrite par jean-Louis Murat). L'album est déjà un immense succès en France. Laissons-nous emporter par le flot Indochine !

Indochine gets better and better..........2002-05-30

I discovered INDOCHINE about four years ago and I have been hooked ever since. There is not a day that I go without listening to Indochine (and other French favorites, Alizee, Mylene Farmer, Vanessa Paradis, Joe Dassin, etc). I have almost all of their cd and I think that their music just keeps getting better and better with each new album. It has surely evolved throughout the years. My absolute favorite is "J'ai demande a la lune." Best way to describe it: haunting yet romantic! Whatever they sing, however they sound, I will always be an INDO fan! I hope INDOCHINE will continue with their grand success!
