Blue Note pays tribute to the Belgian keyboardist-composer Marc Moulin (1942 -
2008) and releases the first 'best of' of one of the electro jazz pioneer and
lounge star in the years 2000. Also, in limited edition the "Boxof", a 3 albums
anthology including 45 titles, among those 15 unreleased, rare or live tracks.

Moulin founded Placebo in the early seventies, mining a jazz fusion vein laid
down by Weather Report and Soft Machine. In the 90's, the 75 album "Sam' Suffy"
released just after the end of Placebo, was being bought and sold for huge sums
in London, Tokyo and San Francisco. DJ Vadim, Jill Scott, Handsome Boy Modeling
School, Aim and others drew inspiration and sometimes re-built new tracks using
this raw material. In three albums for Blue Note in the years 2000, he redefined
in his terms the principles of Chill Out/Lounge and electro jazz, very popular
in the early part of the decade.

The success was worldly saluted. Thirty years after his first release, this man
of all genres that was as comfortable in jazz and electro as he was in pop,
produced the synthesis of a life devoted to his eclectic passions in his three
last albums. Chopin, comic strips, Brian Eno, Tex Avery, Marvin Gaye, Kraftwerk,
Ben Sidran and Miles Davis are the common threads. As in all Moulin's work,
these three albums are steeped in quite a lot of soul, a little slavic
melancholy, rarefied aesthetics and a purity of conception that is close to
architecture. Nor forgetting the modest but mischievous stance so typical of
Brussels. With a keen sense of second degree humour, he maliciously pointed out
the obvious when he stated, "There will always be people that ask Stevie Wonder
why he sings like Jamiroquai".
"Top Secret" and the single "Into the dark", brought Marc his biggest success
and international recognition. But the album's release in 2001 was a surprise
for many people. His compatriots knew that he had switched to a domain that
suited him perfectly, as an editorialist in TΘlΘ Moustique magazine. He had also
written two plays and an essay, "La surenchΦre (L'horreur mΘdiatique)", a
visionary and pessimistic criticism of media. After ôEntertainmentô in 2004, the
logical musical follow-up to "Top Secret", Marc hooked up with his old writing
partner Jacques Duvall for the lyrics to "I Am You". In his two first Blue Note
albums, the songs interpreted by the delicious Christa were often just extracts
of phrases that he worked with on samplers. With "I Am You", the evolution was
clear, more soulful, more like songs. He had found the magic formula, finally
bringing together everything he loved with - as ever - the loyal Bert Joris on
trumpet. This is the balance that he was ready to develop on the fourth album
that will never be released. We can get an idea of the direction that he was
considering with the cover of "Comme α la radio", a dark and hypnotic track
created in 1969 by the French chanteuse Brigitte Fontaine with the Art Ensemble
of Chicago. Marc used his own voice, like on the radio. As if to remind us why
we loved Marc Moulin and how he became an example of finesse and uprightness for
two generations of listeners, readers and music lovers.
