Neg' Marrons Les Liens Sacres

Les Nouveaux Mondes represents the debut of the French hard progrock band Nemo, and from the onset, the band was well poised and balanced in most every facet of what makes for an alluring progressive rock sound. Not a band to simply follow some set patterns or accepted norms of the past, they forge into a new and unique territory that is all their own. Led by guitarist JP Louveton, the band utilizes many mood transitions, from a hard rock feel, to acoustical interludes, and all points in between. They are a vocal band, and sing in their native French language. Which presents the only barrier or obstacle for having a complete comprehension of this band's music.

Dalida was one of the most important female singers in the history of French music, yet she is hardly known in Britain or America. Her career spanned 32 years from 1956 to 1987, when she committed suicide. She recorded for the Barclay label until 1970, when she moved to her brother's label, Orlando. This collection contains (as far as I know) every song she recorded for Barclay in it's original form (no remixes here). Another massive boxed set is available covering all her Orlando recordings. The CD's that make up the two boxed sets were all made available separately.
