[laeufergott]

Can anybody post some lyrics of this song, please? I do not understand too much, because my French sucks big time! Thanks!

@laeufergott "Juste un air de Bach que l'on joue, car les belles étrangères sont amoureuses de cruel mercenaires. C'est le switch on Bach" in english : "Just an air of Bach, that we play, because cute foreign ladies are in love with cruel mercenaries. It's swith on Bach".

As you can see, it's not very profound.

For the first time I didn't liked the sound very much but by now, I admire the song. The sonic timbres are not very special and I'm very sorry that. If it was that, (like say Yazoo, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk) I'd be blown away. Well, already I am! + + + + + +

French underground music is just magic.

i did ecspect something else...

but it is ok in a techno kind of way

[Jarren202]

Classic!

@grolum Maybe you were thinking of Wendy Carlos?

[grolum]

@Jarren202

i was thinking more in the line of classic music played on a sythesizer

[Jarren202]

@grolum Yes, as I said perhaps you were thinking of Wendy Carlos. She released an album called Switched On Bach in 1968, classical music played on Moog synthesizer.
