Bachelet is amazing!

"I first heard this in the mid 70's when my mom picked up the LP. It was so beautiful then as it is now. It reminds me of a simpler time. Yeah, it's a soft porn flick, but this guy could really write. I've picked up other Bachelet, but they don't stand up to this. The other albums were vocal. This is simple music that really should be recognized for what it is. He could write some hauntingly beautiful stuff. I like music that stands the test of time. Beatles, Brian Wilson and yes, Pierre Bachelet 1975."
Not your average soft porn flick music

"Yeah, it's a European soft porn film back from the 70's but there's nothing funky or wah-wah guitars on it. By contrast, it's soft ethereal instrumentals and sighing female vocals quite on the vein of MondoMorricone compilations. This is so relaxing, sensual and, at times, mysterious music that would take you back when life was much simpler and there was a lot to discover. Check out closely the first track arrangement; it gets so blurred and yet you can catch it note by note. Pure magic! French songwriter Pierre Bachelet also composed Emmanuelle original soundtrack. Check out that too.
The disc also includes the soundtrack of Histoire d'O 2. Pretend it's not there. Ignore it. It's so conventional pop with the worst clichés from the 80's. Cheesy and classless. The 5-star rank I gave counts only for the first movie soundtrack.
It's a guilty pleasure at its best."
