Sexuality Remix

My current state has just been heightened by some very powerful French musical opiates. Accidentally while browsing my favorite Parisian artists I stumbled upon a remix album of Sexuality, by Sebastien Tellier. The original came out two years ago and instantly grabbed me, second only after the absolute wonder, Maxence Cyrin (but that's a separate post). An audioporncentral.com (how appropriate) article you can read here does a great job at explaining the remixed state of Sexuality and its origins.
I highly recommend you first flood your senses
with the pure and un-blended version of Tellier's album if you haven't already. But don't deprive yourselves of the many interpretations of his songs. Both albums are original, raw and slightly emotional. Since I discovered the remixes I've been oscillating between the two cds, occasionally throwing in some Maxence here and there. The result: a welcomed, hazy (that's probably the red wine) mellow and total aural ecstasy. Music is the one art form that can dominate the moods and emotions of the heedless. In this particular case put down your armor and let it take you for the ride. Unfortunately, I find it increasingly rare to discover artists whose music is authentic, and stirring. Tellier belongs to that scarce minority.


Must hear: L'amour et la violence, and La Ritournelle, and last but not least Divine (Danger Remix)
