Charlotte Gainsbourg - IRM

[AsixAjax]

That song is amazing, sound exactly like an MRI. I love the lyrics too.

[kaloo123]

She was amazing in Melancholia! 

[LoupBlancEA]

Looks really like an mri, you'll understand if you've done one

[4youd]

awesome

[iaminrainbows]

this has been on repeat for a few days now

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

Cross your eyes and the image becomes 3d

[Shleoss]

@PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY Now I feel sick, Thank you !

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

@Shleoss You're welcome!

[vidsplentifyle]

Love that she worked with Beck on this album. She's also great in movies (English and French - her father was Serge Gainsbourg and her mother is Jane Birkin).

[MrRobynLover]

Tune

[AXABOD]

she reminds me suzzane vega

[clemdarlingmusic]

She's got such an amazing voice. It fits perfect with the music Beck creates around her on this album. Perfect.

If any of you have a free moment, I'd love to hear what you think of some music I just finished. Check it out on my channel!

[Mudbrains1]

funny and kind of appropriate that Beck produced this, considering his "Sea Change" has so many elements lifted directly from Serge's "Histoire de Melody Nelson"

[xchangewoman]

Anyone else can hear the Silver Apples here?

[danburzo]

@xchangewoman yes. same feeling i got with portishead's "Three" album.

[ascoobalyboobaly]

Cat Power esque

[matthewis6feetunder]

this song is so haunting. one of my favorites right now.

[s27945]

田馥甄

[ColorMePink33]

Reminds me of Oscillations by Silver Apples. NICE.

[JasonBNYC]

@ColorMePink33 Exactly!!

[shinjiseiko]

um, memories of Broadcast anyone?

[NaomiLovesDifferent]

"looking through a glass onion"

gotta love a good Beatles reference :)

[pkduexmachina]

woa i didnt know she was an singer.

[defrancotv]

possibly the female version of Jim Morrison?

[BloodyCatastrophee]

Drums always remind me of Radiohead. Mmmm... gotta love Beck!! Good stuff, Charlotte!!

[janiesehenderson]

im madly in love wit her

[princessdaleeee]

The background music is making my dog go crazy right now! haha

[bbygrldontdance]

oh god that's so cool.

[ajgree6]

WOW!

[CieloAtomico]

Searching for music in Last Fm I read about Charlotte, and I must say that ever since I'm in love of her music.

She's awesome.

[llama123piggy]

@CieloAtomico that is where I first found her and fell in love as well : )

[JasonBNYC]

This is absolutely awesome . . . reminds me of the Silver Apples (Oscillations)! I ♥ Charlotte Gainsbourg.

[Variable1000]

Je comprends pas pourquoi on en fait en fromage ca a rien d original d employer le son d une IRM c est plat !

[deusirae76]

@Variable1000 Charlotte Gainsbourg a eu une hémorragie cérébrale, le bruit des IRM qu'elle a dû faire après son opération lui a inspiré cettte chanson

[portisalpha]

Reminds me of Broadcast and I love it!!

[mwells219]

isn't this the woman who cut off her clitoris in antichrist? 

[coppurt]

@mwells219

oui.

[coppurt]

@mwells219

oui.

[Monitorsetf1]

Highly Intelligent Inside Your Music Vibes Voice are Excellent

[alendaramon]

tell me where the trauma lies

in the scan a pathogen

or the shadow of my sin...

[xtraordinarymachine0]

this is tribal, and sexy. I am musically turned on at the moment.

[olivia720]

the ending is the best

[chodaboy51500]

Is this the same Charlotte Gainsbourg from Science of Sleep? This is good stuff.

[gigginhoor]

what pretentious garbage.

[chodaboy51500]

@gigginhoor is that a self examination?

[xtraordinarymachine0]

@gigginhoor ya, so is your face.

[Museegirl0018]

@xtraordinarymachine0 very mature

[xtraordinarymachine0]

@Museegirl0018 is that internet sarcasm I am sensing?

[Museegirl0018]

@xtraordinarymachine0 what do you think

[xtraordinarymachine0]

@Museegirl0018 hmm, I just don't know. I am just curious, did you take sex education in school, or were you taught the chastity method?

[IsaacEliSeth]

I love the MRI effects! It gives the music a really odd, exotic feel, eh?

[iSOP4r4]

Charlotte sounds a lot like Martina Topley-Bird.

[Anniebritton]

GREAT album.

[SuperArtbitch]

wioooo genius! this is seriously really goodd!! love it

[TheControverseMan]

grandios!

[flavmondi]

love it!!!! beautiful, talented and intelligent! now that's a woman!

[omg13fuck]

ale gówno... :P

[VNRose3]

What an extraordinary coincidence that singer/songwriter Jeffrey Lewis' last album was called "Em R I" and featured an album cover drawn by him of a bandaged head, taken apart in layers as you open the album. Simultaneous discovery?

[TheGodOfExtreme]

Just read Time Magazine. Article on her says IRM is based off of spending time in an MRI. The MRI made loud rhythmic "musical" noises.

[Elllllllllen]

IRM is French for MRI.

[myorli29]

I fell in love with this track <3

[misspatatedouce]

bcp mieux que l'ancien album

=)

[dheovlotn]

shes from the movie im not there!! the one with heath ledger about bob dylans life right?

[mmacn034]

Gainsbourg had a role in The Science of Sleep as well.

[heart0damage]

sii :)

[LightSweet]

I'm really surprised it took this long for someone to write a song inspired by the MRI. Back in the 80's when I had my first, it took me no time at all to try to comfort myself in that tube by coming up with songs or beats that matched its rhythm.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

But is she as good as her father? hmm.. lol

[alucardlubu]

thats the question. hard to beat sleazy serge

[chuls2465]

The second sound added is exactly one of the MRI sounds. That's so funny! I have already had like 50 so I know them by heart. It's too bad she didn't put the sound of the machine when it's not taking pictures, it's so relaxing. And by the way, yes bad diseases, NLSMOKE, thanks to this terrible machine my life was turned upside down, like many others.

[MrlaJane]

oooo gosh, I am so happy someone did music reflecting the MRI, I had MRI 3 months ago. I just loved the sounds in that tube, mesmerizing! Some weird but beautiful music came into my ears. I tought it would be nice if someone did that, caus` I am no mucisian:)

When I heard that song I was hooked! Beautiful.

[lafeecariboo]

LOVE the cd !

playing en boucle depuis Noel. Bravo Charlotte !

[Robin12048]

I bought the cd and it's very good!

[omghiamy]

is this song about mri?

[NLSMOKE]

Yes it's the sound you heard during an 'irm', the machine make a sound like this ! Beautifull sound... But bad desease...

[bladdibastard]

She is absolutely right making music with those sounds. As a physician I often accompany patients in the MRI to make sure they are all right. Listening to the sound of the MRI (with ear protection!) I often thougt: "It might be a good background for music". But I'm no musician- so I let the foreground music just play in my head.

[gotnothingclever]

what a cool way to perceive an MRI scan

[ikez84]

haunting and lovely

[Aletargo1]

Hermoso voz con excelente sonido. Evoluciono.

[anorthernmonkey]

ta for the upload, atmospheric masterpiece

[birolehel]

brilliant tune, i really love you Charlotte. keep on.
