I would describe this album as French Accoustic Folk Rock. Despite the artist's attrocious taste in his myspace layout, this album is incredibly tasteful. Of course, I can only speak for the sounds, as I a cannot speak French.
This album has a lot of variety, switching between chill and rock, but keeping a very folk atmosphere. The instrumental music is excellent and the typically gentle use of vocals and environmental sound effects adds a lot of class to this album.
All of the tracks are pretty good, but for a quick listen, I suggest going for track 4, "Lor". It is a good summary of this album. The first two tracks and track 5, "La rupture", "Les heures", "Délirante planète", are also worth listening to if you are just browsing.
The next time you are having bittersweet memories of your childhood, this album would serve as a great soundtrack. No, this album probably has nothing to do with your childhood, but it's whistful melodies and sounds certainly give it a nice dream effect with a soft touch of ironic happiness.
There is something that should be noted about the album cover, and applied to visual design in general. While the eye is really cool, the font is not. Sure, the font may look cool, but anyone with even a little experience with desktop publishing can easily recognize it as the MS Papyrus font. Keep your eye out for it, and you will find it almost everywhere. Using standard fonts and clipart makes stuff look really amateur and unoriginal.
Despite that little rant, I suggest you give the album a listen. It is pretty darn good.
