CD Reviews

It can't get better than this
Luis Alvoeiro | Lisboa, Portugal | 10/23/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The film is simply amazing and so is the soundtrack. A very well cocked mix between French/Belgium music and traditional blues. The kind of record that your friends keep asking "what is this" and "Where did you find-it"."
FANTASTIC

"i simply dont understand why quality music always end up unheard by the masses. this is a beautiful, well crafted soundtrack from an amazing animated movie (Les Triplettes de Belleville), it got excellent reviews worldwide, even from american critics who usually praise hollywood blockbusters. Well, the soundtrack is as excellent as the movie. This is the kind of music you spin when you throw a party, having some good red wine. So Make youself a favor and buy this record, it is well worth every buck you spend on it!!"
Superb
