URGENCE



URGENCE
27 ARTISTES POUR LA LUTTE
CONTRE LE SIDA (1992)
224 KBPS

Initiated by Etienne Daho, this 1992 benefit compilation serves a sole purpose : collecting founds for scientists to try to cure AIDS. The cream of french "variété" gathered to serve this noble cause with only original recordings and mixed results as it's always the case with this kind of project. Not being a fan of the more mainstream french chanson, my buying this album was mainly to support the effort. Nevertheless, there are some true highlights on this double cd: Alain Bashung's cover of Christophe's "Les Mots Bleus", the swiss Stephan Eicher with his version of Elvis's "Can't Help Falling In Love With You", Jane Birkin's cover of her ex-husband's (Serge Gainsbourg) quite obscure song "Les Goémons", Manu Chao's Mano Negra with "Soledad", "Les Mots" by the very nice french female pop singer Jil Caplan, Renaud (better than he usually is) with a poignant "Toute Seule A Une Table", William Sheller with his heartfelt cover of Barbara's "Vienne" and Jacques Higelin with a very nice "Un Aviateur Dans L'Ascenseur. But the real big highlight here is, without a doubt, alternative rock superstar François Hadji-Lazaro's two bands (Les Garçons Bouchers & Pigalle) uniting for a totally emotional "Pascal Le Keupon Et L'Amour". The rest goes from okay to utterly crappy but those great moments alone make it worth listening to Urgence.
