"french" is hip again and paris is once more the vibrant centre of
the world. the parisian pop scene in particular is booming as never
before : producers, record labels and bands like air, st. germain,
daft punk, cassius and mirwais are soaring to international
stardom. for some reason or other, this french "pop Θlectronique",
together with french fashion, magazines (purple, crash) and the
french art world, is often associated with decadent, "lounge" type
scenes. think of air's air-bubbles music and you see young girls
wearing prada slippers, designer beach tents and bottles of rosΘ.
the elysian fields exhibition mounted last year in the centre
pompidou, confirmed this impression. atmospheric paintings, photos,
installations and a matching soundscape together conjured up a
weightless, irresponsible glamorama world. in his review in
metropolis, domeniek ruyters described the exhibition, and more
generally the entire "lounge cult", as an agreeable but totally
uncritical affair, one in which "experience precedes thought,
pleasure precedes contemplation, enjoyment precedes reflection".
a soundtrack with new works by sonic youth, oval, david grubbs, tom
verlaine, jim o'rourke and other musicians plays continuously
throughout the show. the cd comes tipped in the 400 pages textless
(!) catalogue, which was designed by the dutch group experimental
jet set.
