Serge Gainsbourg -- Histoire De Melody Nelson

  For the record, no pun intended or maybe ... I had to listen to this album on a memory stick through sh*tty laptop speakers, and yes I am getting this one on vinyl ASAP, so soon that I just ordered it off E-bay ... sorry dear reader, but my life is in total shambles, I'm stuck in transition and am currently living in a room above a funeral home, but we'll save that story for another day!

  Melody Nelson is a Baroque Pop, minimalist, conceptual masterpiece ... I'd say it's the Parisian Sgt. Pepper.  Gainsbourg's version of Pop music on this record reeks of futura Indie Rock ... cool distorted guitar, monologue vocals, somewhat Indian styled strings ... the whole album was/ is beautiful.  Today's Indie Pop wouldn't exist without Gainsbourg's crucial contribution!
