ROB

ROB

Two albums from Frenchman Rob. Coming from the Versailles scene - just like Phoenix, Daft Punk, Mellow, etc. - Rob gives us his own version of the French touch. It's pompous, over the top, richly orchestrated. In a way, it's a little bit as if Queen was doing a Serge Gainsbourg album. There are many other influences, most of them coming from the 70's: you have some Ten CC, Electric Light Orchestra, Burt Bacharach, Beach Boys, Ennio Morricone etc. It sometimes is a little clumsy but in a good way as it gives the music a little more charm.
As far as I know (but I might be wrong) these are Rob only two albums. A real shame as it showed many promises so, if you like music that doesn't take itself too seriously, that has lush arrangements and a sense of humour, you ought to yourself to try it.
