Nu hvor Jonas har skrevet om Charlotte Gainsbourg tænkte jeg at vi også lige måtte hylde farmand, Serge. Serges bedste album er uden tvivl det 28min lange Histoire de Melody Nelson der udkom tilbage i ‘71. Nedenfor har jeg copy-pastet fra et par andmeldelser, så du kan få en ide om hvad vi har med at gøre:
Stylusmagazine:
The most remarkable thing about Histoire De Melody Nelson is at only 28 minutes it leaves you with the feeling that you experienced a sexual odyssey when it’s finished. Like sex itself does, Melody Nelson seems to bend time; and also like sex, it lures you back again and again and again.
Pichfork: 10/10
…a superb opportunity to hear a record that’s been occasionally imitated but never matched.
Tiny Mix Tapes: 5/5
Frequently labeled as a lecherous rogue or public provocateur, Gainsbourg is also one of the most important artists of the 20th century, and this masterpiece is the proof.
Allmusic: 4.5/5
Perhaps best described as a dirty old bastard’s attempt to make his own R&B love-man’s record along the lines of a Let’s Get It On (itself still two years away from release), it’s by turns fascinating and repellent, hilarious and grim, but never dull — which, in Gainsbourg’s world, would be the ultimate (and quite possibly the only) sin.
Så hvis du ikke kender albummet er der blot at få fremskaffet albummet og nyde hvert et sekund!
