For those who do not know Mylene.......2005-06-21

I first heard this album in France when came out. Frankly, I love it and was checking to see if I could get a cd now that my tape has finally bit the dust. She reminds me a bit of Kate Bush, I am not sure why, but when you listen perhaps you will understand what I mean. She does interesting things with music, words and the topics she explores. Yes, some songs are blatantly sexual and sensual (with not a little bit of humor thrown in) in nature and if that offends you perhaps you should skip her but she also covers a range of interesting thoughts and ideas. (Hum...I am having to rewrite this as my first review was lost in the wash...now what else did I say...Ah, yes!) I was actually a little surprised that someone would not like her voice, but then I like Stevie Nicks' voice and I realize she is not for everyone. I am not such a fan that I have listened to all of her albums...perhaps I am a little afraid of ruining the pleasure I take in Ainsi Soit Je... but I enjoy listening to french vocalists to keep up my language skills and Mylene sings clearly enough that I can understand her. (Another good one is Coralie Clement) Just to get a sense of whether or not you might like her, here are some of the other band I have liked- Pink Martini, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Susanne Vega's "Small Blue Thing" (not the others), Eileen Iver's "Wild Blue" (also not the others), and most of Blondie's popular hits, to name just a few. They are not like Mylene, in fact a number are sort of on the jazz/swing side, but sometimes it is helpful to understand the context of a person writing a review. In anycase, I hope you love it...I did.

100% mylene.......2003-10-05

this is another great album of mylene's. what i love about her is how she has so many different styles in all her albums so you are sure to see something different each time. although she does always mainatain that girly voice of hers, i think that is what makes her stand out. that she can sing about such things and still look all "innocent" with her little angel voice and face... i first heard "sans contrefacon" when i was very young, about 4 or 5 years old, and i immediately loved the song. as she sings about being somewhat of a tomboy, i immediately identified w/the song, i even felt it was written for me... anyways, no doubt "sans contrefacon" and "sans logique" are my favs on this album. another standout track is "jardin de vienne"... it's a really sad song, but it has this typical medieval french feel to it and is a different kind of song...
this is a great album and a must for true fans :)

The most influential CD of its time.......2003-04-27

Yes that's exactly what AINSI SOIT-JE was, when it first appeared, in 1988, though no one knew at the time. Farmer's second CD seemed then so dark, so universally sad, so frightening even at its most peaceful ("Jardin de Vienne") and so alienated from the present : I mean, who in 1988 was reciting Baudelaire ("L'horloge," whose music became the source of Enigma's works), or doing a female transvestist version of Peter Pan ("Sans contrefacon," which translates as "No counterfeit")? And who, 10 years before Alanis Morrisette, turned such a dark eye to love-making ("Pourvu qu'elles soient douces") as Mylene, with her female rebellion? The oddly disco-fied blues ("Allan," "Sans logique") and the ballads, too, made no sense, 4 - 6 years before "Goth" became a recognized idiom (largely because this CD helped spawn it). Today, when Farmer has become the world's most influential female pop star (sorry, Mr. Proud of America -- I'm not proud of you, by the way -- but it's true), this early CD sounds incomplete, a first step on a very profound road : yet even in its searching but not yet finding way, it offers plenty of flashes of the quizzical, darkish, sexually heated, pensive intelligence that singles Farmer out from the teen-mainstream, cliche pop that befuddles FM radio in the US. I still play this CD from time to time and still discover new insights in it, though most of my Farmer time is devoted to her newer works.

Superb, unless you only listen to mainstream hits - top 20.........2001-08-14

This is one of Mylene's best CDs, along with L'Autre and Anamorphosee. Mylene Farmer's music is a unique combination of space new age (Vangelis, Mike Oldfield) with a twist of Euro dance and very interesting and original other arrangements. The lyrics are critical to enjoying the songs. She also, on occasion mixes French with English to great effect. Mylene Farmer creates a musical poetry of her own and, for those who acquire the taste, she is a universe of fun and wonder. Her videos are even better. Not for everyone, but you'll know whether she is your type as soon as you are acquainted.

Shouldn't there be a Law against this?.......2001-04-14

Hmmm...where do I begin? First of all, as an American, after listening to this cd I have never been more proud of my country. I mean, I the thought that this could even be a possibility to make airwaves here sends shivers down my spine. All the songs on here are tiring and relentless...and basically have no point. My peronal fav is the Farmer's Conclusion song, because at least she has the help of animals to drown out her terrible voice.
