Release Notes:
In France in the early '90s, Dominique A (born Dominique AnΘ in 1968) showed the
way for those artists who wished to stick to singing in their birth language
without necessarily putting aside their overseas pop influences, and thereby
their poppiest edge. He more than often performed alone on-stage, jangling with
synths, guitars, and microphones in a minimalist style that made him famous,
relying partly on his high-pitched emphatic old-fashioned voice. His first hit,
"Le Courage des Oiseaux," from 1992's La Fossette, inspired a whole generation
of growing artists and quickly gained cult status. Even after he added more
instrumentation and sophistication to his works, and up to 1995's La MΘmoire
Neuve and its single "Le Twenty Two Bar," he kept following the same path of
stripped-down-to-the-core songwriting. It was only when he discovered Alain
Bashung's L'Imprudence album that he decided to add even more sophistication,
thereby closing the first chapter of his career and entering new stages of
musical and lyrical creation. Though some surprised critics weren't necessarily
following Dominique A in his more and more challenging new formula, he kept on
insisting on it, adding more and more literature influences and musical subtlety
to his material. 2006's L'Horizon was quite warmly received as the then-climax
of this new era, both by music critics and his fan base. In 2007, he released a
first live CD album, Sur Nos Forces Motrices.
