Saxaphone!

Please make him stop.

Ultimately however, despite the undertone of subversiveness and provocation, it's just bad sub-Sade '80s pop.

Look, for the record, Serge never laid anything other than a fatherly hand on Charlotte.

It s well documented and corroborated by all and every surviving parties.

It's not like Klaus and Nastassjia Kinski.

The whole thing was designed to outrage the French.

They made a movie called Charlotte Forever about the same time and it just exacerbated the outrage.

Track 4 - Don't Forget To Forget Me.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:42 pm

Fretless bass.

by Guest Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:42 pm

Song with bit of life!

English.

Knopfleresque guitar.

However, none of the mischief and subversiveness can redeem the fact that the songs are horrible.

It is 1986 after all.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:46 pm

This bit is the best bit of the album, so far.

by Nightjar Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:47 pm

This is the best track so far.

It probably will remain so.

Charlotte does a good job of imitating her dad with the "yes, forget me" bit.

by Guest Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:47 pm

Best one so far!

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:47 pm

Track 5 - Pour Ce Que Tu N'étais Pas.

by Nightjar Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:47 pm

Getting funky as it fades out.

And boring.

I can't even be bothered doing a 'relative boring' joke.
