Ultra Moderne Solitude probably is the album with which Alain Souchon went from post-teenage French pop chanson to the style he's nowadays known for (dandyesque romantic pop chanson... kinda.). Of course, that means lyrics and musics aren't as nicely naive as they used to be but, since the previous formula was running a little thin, it's quite a good news that this talented singer/songwriter managed to adapt and evolve.
There are some killer songs here: Les Cadors, Quand J'Serai KO, Dandy and, also a sweet duet with Jane Birkin (Comédie) and since the rest of the songs are almost up to those highlights, what you're having here is a strong, highly entertaining slice of French Chanson/Pop like it was done in the 80s, and very well done that is.
