I would have loved to have been a fan of Les Rita Mitsouko when this album dropped. Let me explain.

'Marcia Bailia' became a surprise hit on the French singles chart in 1985. The single had the complete package, it was an upbeat song with a sad but celebratory theme. The instrumentation was modern and ingenious, and the group were stunning too; Catherine Ringer with her Louise Brooks bob-haircut, and Fred Chichin with his skinny frame and funny charm. This was complemented by one of the eighties most original and extravagant videos. It was brilliant. The debut album from with 'Marcia Bailia' was lifted, was arty and leftfield with a mixture of sparse poppy numbers and longer organ-heavy drones. 'Marcia Bailia' was the obvious standout because it was both brighter and more developed than the rest of the album.

'The No Comprendo' then, must have come as a surprising and frankly slamming follow up. The core change is the tempo and the emphasis on strong rhythms. The music featured works as both a logical follow up to the debut and as a completely new and bold direction. The double a-side and first single 'Andy' / 'Un Soir un Chien' plays like a mission statement. The former takes 'Marcia Bailia's synth-horns and giddy feel but locks it to a brittle Prince-like framework with funky bass flourishes and chanted backing vocals. The song practically pile-drives the listener asking them either to dance or at least say "oiu"! 'Un Soir un Chien' moves along on a loungey groove, happy to take its time to develop. It offers Catherine's sweet but strained and utterly-unique vocal performances, which is would later become de rigueur for the group.
