Nouvelle vague - Nouvelle Vague (2004)

Nouvelle Vague is a French electronica project initialized by multi-instrumentalists & producers Marc Collin & Olivier Libaux. Marc first came to recognition with his band Ollano, known for their Francophone trip-hop/jazz-fusion & his movie soundtracks such as 'The Kidnapper's Theme'. He soon moved into the realm of club music, initially recording for the UK's own Paper Recordings & progressing into a more creative & eclectic producer under the guises Avril on Fcom, & Volga Select on Output Records. Olivier Libaux has been involved with many French pop acts during the nineties & started working with Marc in 1998. Nouvelle Vague which translates to 'new wave' in English, & bossa nova in Portuguese, revisits a number of both Marc & Olivier's favorite tracks from the early eighties, taking in bands such as the Clash, Joy Division, & the Cure in a stunning combination of bossa nova, jazz & sixties pop.
