Product Description
From Amazon.com
The word delirious is perhaps tossed around too casually in '90s dance music, but Sacrebleu earns the description. Dimitri patches together everything from lounge sounds to techno, with plenty of ear-tickling verbal samples to keep things hopping. Too much of a good thing at 70-plus minutes, perhaps, but you'll even enjoy the hangover. --Rickey Wright
Chronique amazon.fr
Après une belle carrière de DJ, à la radio puis dans les clubs où se fomentait la révolution musicale et technologique qu'on ne songeait pas encore à labeliser "french touch", Dimitri From Paris sortait un premier album gentiment révolutionnaire. À l'inverse de ses comparses en touche française, sa partition s'appuyait davantage sur l'easy listening que sur le disco-funk, dont il est pourtant un fervent connaisseur. Sacrebleu est aussi délicatement suranné que son titre le suggère. Autant également que le tube "Sacré français", susurré par une voix de lolita à l'innocence perverse, sur fond de ritournelle sonore qui évoque les musiques de films candides des années 60, quand les musiciens découvraient avec ravissement l'utilisation de synthétiseurs rudimentaires. Tout l'album est de cette eau pure : décalé, insidieusement stupide mais adorable, bourré d'effets sonores et de refrains vraiment charmants. --Jean-Éric Perrin

Sacrebleu! this is good!,
This review is from: Sacrebleu (Audio CD)
Dimitri has been around for a long time, and like many other good electro musicians he's from France. He's been remixing loads of artists in the past before he decided to make a own album. Sacrebleau was actually released in the late 90's i think, this is a re-release for US. This album includes almost 20 songs and it's a great variety of music styles, you'll find everything from Air sounding relax songs to boss nova to Daft Punk sounding electro. Dimitri always adds cool samples and funny voices and he's a master of synths. "Une very stylish fille" is a good example of that. It has that retro sound with funky samples and a female voice. It's probably his most famous song aswell. "Attente Musicale" is another slow song with the frenchman's voice(?), it has got a wonderful Sound & Melody just like many other songs on the album. For those of you that enjoy groups like Air and Röyksopp, you'll love this. Dimitri won't dissapoint when it comes to slow songs with wonderful sound and with the addition of cool samples and vocals it will only improve. Must have album.

"Welcome to the exciting world of hip!",
This review is from: Sacrebleu (Audio CD)
Upon spying its unusual cover art, I knew I had to snatch up "Sacrebleu" for my collection. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew whatever madness awaited my eager ears had to be just as, if not more hip than the album's kitschy outer cover."Sacrebleu" is a campy musical journey through experimental lounge. Some tracks sound like remastered classics, while others combine elements of bossa, jazz & various genres of electronica for a downright modern sound. The album is introduced as a new departure in language instruction and kicks off with the bouncy "Sacre Francais," after which you will have heard more "sacrebleu"s than ever before. The one-minute "Monsieur Dimitri Joue Du Stylophone" -- a tinny filler that sounds like a background bit from an old film -- is my favorite track. I also find myself going back to "Nothing To Lose" -- a breathy, provocative number, the hopelessly stylish "Une Very Stylish Fille," & "Un Woman's Paradis." A few of the tracks are tolerable (the repetetive "Le Moogy Reggae," for one) but not so hot. However, you'll still find it easy to breeze through the album without skipping songs. Once you've got a copy of "Sacrebleu" in your hands, you may want to check out some similar beats. Ursula 1000's "Kinda Kinky" is another electronic-lounge hybrid that packs more hip than you'll know what to do with, and Japanese groups Fantastic Plastic Machine & Pizzicato Five are worth a listen. Just make sure a copy of "Sacrebleu" is in your shopping cart and you'll be on the right track. As the prologue states, this disc is intended "for English-speaking people who want to talk to and be understood by jazz musicians, hipsters, beatniks, juvenile delinquents & the criminal fringe" ...or perhaps just the average Joe who would like to inject a little zany French fun into his life.

Une disque superbe,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sacrebleu (Audio CD)
Cet album est complet de chansons variées et intérésantes, chacune avec son propre attrait distinct. C'est encroyable l'écouter quand on est envie d'un peu de calme. La disque est très jolie ! C'est dommage qu'elle n'inlcue pas le vidéo de « Sacré Fraçais » ; j'ai acheté l'album seulement à cause de cette chanson-là. Ce dit, la haute qualité du restant de la disque m'a plu beaucoup. J'aimerais si la parole était un peu plus en français au lieu d'être presque tout en anglais, mais que peut-on faire ? Achetez cette disque si vous voulez de la musique calme mais joyeuse; elle n'est pas pleine de chansons techno-dance énérgétiques. J'espère que d'autres reconnaîtront le talent de Dimitri ; cet album est très haute !
