 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.New Wave classics survive the bossa nova treatment. Taking their moniker from the 60s New Wave of cult French cinema, Nouvelle Vague are a French musical collective put together by arrangers Marc Collins and Olivier Libaux. The group’s raison d’etre is to resurrect lost classics from the 80s “New Wave” music era (see the link?) and reinterpret them in a saucy bossa nova style. Replacing the inherent broodiness and aggression of songs like The Dead Kennedy’s Too Drunk To F**k and Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart with insouciant Latino rhythms shouldn't work, but it really, really does.Nouvelle Vague – Nouvelle Vague, released 02 August 04 on Peacefrog Records.
