Search - Mighty Bop, Louise Vertigo :: Autres Voix Autres Blues

Nice grooves

"Overall, this release is better than la vague sensorielle. Although it never reaches the same heights of the previous lp, it is nonetheless more suited to repeat listenings. Autrex voix, autrex blues has a wonderfully consistent and smooth flow to it to maintain a sense of all-pervading calm throughout its duration. The music feels so effortless that the album ends before you really know it's even begun. Nevertheless, there's enough going on here (even some disco grooves on the third track) to keep the album from getting boring. In general, if you enjoy the final third of K&D's DJ Kicks set (e.g., the more relaxed, slower selections) or Nightmares on Wax's 'Carboot Soul', you should really enjoy this set of well-composed mellow, syrupy beats and vocal samples."

Mighty Bop is always unique and excellent

"France seems to have a monopoly on unique, dreamy trip-hop and Mighty Bop may be the originator of that feel/sound. Have yet to dislike anything they do. Bon!"

The House , hip-hop,soul, and rap masterpiece.

"As with "La vague sensorielle" The Mighty Bop remains elusive to catagorize. Samples, loops, and blends of jazz\house\and rap make this a unique listening in any language.
I say that because the lyrics on this cd are all in French, but it's still ok. Once again the turntablism is evident, but not as much as on "la vague sensorielle". The vocalist on this cd is Louise Vertigo who I know nothing about other than she sounds hot! You may need to cool off after listening to another unique and masterful blend from the Mighty Bop."
