Other French artists that you like?

[eru777]

I've been a fan of Alizee for years, but she's not the only French artist that I love.

Jean Michel Jarre is one of my favorite composers, and I like Daft Punk as well (Not their "Random Access Memories" album though, that was garbage).
For people who don't know his name, I'm sure you've heard his most famous track, "oxygene IV" before:



Bear in mind this was made in the 1970s in his kitchen (!). Way before Moby, way before widely used personal computers. Everything you hear is made from analogue synthesizers and recorded onto tapes, which adds a lot of charm in my opinion.

Honorable mentions:
Yiann Tiersen (Amelie OST)
Sebastien Tellier (Somewhere OST)
Mylene Farmer (Alizee's early lyricist, singer/songwriter, the "Madonna of France")

Whom do you also enjoy? It can be modern French artists or oldies but goodies like Francoise Hardy

Feel free to post tracks too, I'd love to learn more about French musicians, any genre.
