April
March –
Paris
In April
CD Album, U.S., 1996
Sympathy for the Record Industry
The
enlarged version of the EP Chick
Habit,
and its a great album. What we have here is bi-lingual versions of
the songs that were originally in French. For many in English
speaking land this was the first introduction to the seductive world
of French pop. Françoise Hardy, Gainsbourg all classics and it is
filtered through April's sensibility. Also when I compare her
recordngs with Bertrand Burgalat, I prefer this one. The physical
distance from France somewhat makes this album more dreamy as a
concept.
My parents interest in French
poetry and cinema and then April's album set me up for what I had to
do, which is to become a publisher. Its the small gestures that turn
into something larger.
