Add my praise to the many comments here. This has GOT to be the coolest album ever recorded. It was so ahead of its time its not even funny. Gainsbourg is a superb artist, anything you can find of his is worth listening to, but Melody Nelson is his masterpiece. Its by turns funky, haunting, leering, dirty and beautiful beyond description. The coolness factor on this one is sky high. J'taime ce des disques, son merveilleux!!!

Ahh the joy's of the mighty Serge... Unless you've had your head under a rock you've probably been hearing high praise for this record for some time now... hushed wispers of its legendary weirdness... well the word on the street is right my friends.. this is an incredible record by any stretch of the imagination. First up this is basically Serges most "rock" oriented record.. but let me clarify that by saying Serge's take on "rock" is a tweaked out as his take on pretty much everything in life ... so the sound is very weird.. very sparse .. very repetitive.. but at the same time huge and massive (one of the greatest bass tones ever recorded.. and some of the craziest funky drummin' ever) ... then there's the strings which literally sound as if they're bein beamed in from another record somewhere else.. out of this world! ... yeah its as good as everything you've heard about it... and if you've been dissipointed or hesistant to get into Serge I point you in this lil beauty's direction otherwise your missing out on one of the greatest records of all time...

Un plaisir renouvelé. Une video pour nous faire entrer dans le secret, des titres inédits ou en version longue, pour mieux nous faire comprendre la démarche artistique.... on est aux anges ! À voir et à revoir, le témoignage de l'ingénieur du son ainsi que celui de Jean-Claude Vannier, l'arrangeur. 40 ans plus tard, on se replonge avec délectation dans ce chef-d''uvre et les passages de violons, la rythmique et les paroles nous enchantent comme à la première écoute.

Eblouissant
Franchement, c'est un des meilleurs disques dans ma collection. Achetez-le. Si j'ai du choisir une bande son pour ma vie, c'est ce disque là que je choisirais.

Astonishing
All of the praised heaped upon this album is justified. It is a stone cold classic and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Sgt. Read more

Get out your dictionaries
The lazy bassline which bleeds through the speakers to open the album suggest the sophisticated leachery which is to follow. Read more

Essential Album
For an overall view of Gainsbourg's work, common collections such as Comic Strip, Jazz dans le ravin, and Couleur Cafe are wonderful. But this album is a standout. Read more
