Great review Karin!

I like UEDS :)
Well, the songs arent very upbeat, you cant dance or sing along with them like JPVA or ML, maybe this is why the album wasnt a great success.
But it's great for relaxing.
I listen to UEDS more then to Gourmandise/MCE.

To be honest the first time I listened to some songs from the album, I didnt like them, but now its my favorite Alizzee album.

My favorite songs are Eden Eden, la candida, les collines, a couer fendre, factory girl, mes fantomes...........uhm, I love ALL songs from UEDS! :D

I love your review Karin.

For me UEDS is one of the best albums I have ever heard ... it has this simple yet deep atmosphere like no other album I have ever heard, while her voice lifts it into the heights... I would even dare to say that it outstrips Vangelis, not to mention Boutonnat, in its ability to freeze my emotions and thoughts...

Great work, Alizée! :clap:

Very nice blog Karin- thanks!

I am one of the new members here and I know I'm digging up old posts but I think there is so much richness of thought in this whole site regarding Alizée that it's worth doing so, particularly as it relates to this under-rated album. Since La Candida is one of the songs that initially got my attention and instantly transformed me into a fan, the entire album became one of my favorites- right along with Psychédèlices. Who knew? A French singer, singing a song in Spanish- dedicated to her Mexican fans. That's straight from her heart- and from what I'm beginning to understand- pure Alizée!

Not taking anything away from her earlier works- they are great in their own genre- I think these two albums (as I'm sure 5 will be) simply and elegantly showcase her unique talent as a singer moving into her own realm- as an independent artist.

Bravo to Alizée, and thanks again Karin for your insightful thoughts!
