Motifs
: :With a sound made up of equal parts bossa nova and classic chanson transported almost unchanged from the 1960s, plus American jazz, Argentinean Tango, bal musette and the Manouche swing made famous by Django Reinhardt, Paris Combo undeniably personifies that city's aesthetic. French music and film tend to share an elegant, humorless, surreal, coolly theatrical artificiality so ingrained that observed or remembered passion becomes more seductive than the real thing.

The Face magazine said, 'Undoubtedly the best post-French house, seventies Californian, country-rock concept album of modern love songs you'll ever likely to hear.' 2000release. Standard jewel case. :'Heatwave,' the funk-flavored track on the 1999 compilation Source Rocks, suggested Phoenix were another product of the French-filtered disco wave.
