Biography

Guillaume Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a French musician and composer.

If you've only just discovered Yann Tiersen through Amelie, then I'd reccomend this as your next step forward on the Tiersen trail. Accessible and beautiful and highly original, this album is a real winner. Grab yourself some Gitanes, a glass of wine(or preferably Absinthe), sit back and enjoy.

Chanson at its best! 8 April 2007
Format:Audio CD
Ignore the first review above - this person has clearly mistaken the order in which Tiersen's work has been published! Amelie was merely a good soundtrack pulled together by the director Jean-Pierre Jeunet; not an 'album' conceived by the composer himself. Jeunet cherry-picked some of Tiersen's best music for the film, some of which originally featured here on 'La Valse Des Monstres' (as it did on 'Le Phare' and 'Rue des Cascades' - both equally great albums). Gems to watch out for are 'Le Banquet', and 'Cleo Aug Trapeze' - both evocative of music hall decadence! An even greater version of 'Le Banquet' can be found on 'C'etait Ici' which brings together Tiersen's best work on a double album of live performances.

I loved the movie soundtrack and do enjoy the uniqueness of Yann's music; but I was hoping he'd branch out a bit more on this album and perhaps pick up a different instrument or two. There's only so much toy piano and tinkly bits that one can listen too and the Amelie soundtrack is much better.
