Do Pearl Thongs Work?

"The Complete Sixties Stella Vander: Magma life before!


This disc is a real surprise! It shows that Stella Vander before being a chorister and soloist in the legendary band Magma , was in the early 60's this young singer thirteen years a bit of a tomboy and a member of this movement called Anti- yéyé which consisted of artists who sought to caricature and singers live in parallel fashion such Sylvie Vartan, Sheila , Johnny Hallyday , Claude Francois and others (see the book on the subject of Christian Eudeline Anti-yéyé/Une another story of the sixties ). This beautiful double digipack CD offers 40 tracks that are so integral to the first career Stella, and it is clear that these songs often parodic still hold the road even as the oldest Why not me dating from 1963 when the singer says, very playful, she can also make Wo-wo -wo-wo-wo-wo and Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah of Sheila and sing like a toad! Twisting, especially when you consider the amazing musical work that will then perform Stella in the early 70s in Magma joining Christian Vander (including the 2 masterpieces Group Theusz hamtaahk and the recent Ka: Kohntarkosz anteria ). The title is singing my favorite dating back to June 1964 is a real small tube that remains in memory in the hollow of the ear long after listening, and blues New wave of October 1964, a fairly standard blues-jazz but very original in terms of words, they consist solely of shares of the biggest films of the New Wave of Truffaut / Godard / Resnais and others, which can be heard in the last verse the title of a film huge sounding music to my ears: Hiroshima mon amour ...


So, in the year 1966, Stella comes to accrue three years of success, and is transformed by the force of things in real singer on the charts, not banal paradox when we know that starting the process was intended satire. It is undoubtedly the reason which grows to abandon this career took a different direction than initially desired. So she takes her retirement that year, at the age of 16 years (and yes, what a dream), but not giving up music altogether. In 1969, she met Christian Vander will become her husband, with whom she built the architecture of Magma, however, appearing as a singer only from the third album in 1973 (the mythical Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh ). It will remain unwavering support for Vander , performing some of his solo albums, and created with Francis Linon Seventh Records label in 1987 and Ex-voltage in 2002, producing artists close to the movement of the group (the famous Musik-zheul ) and reissuing all albums Magma under ideal conditions (compliance Design kits intended by Vander particular). Finally she closes the loop by returning to his solo career in 1991 with the disk test love, making us the gift of his wonderful voice within compositions internalized. A second album of the same version was born in 2004, The heart going to . She also continues her work with Magma (latest album: Ëmëhntëhtt-re in 2009).

The heart up to (2004)
Do not hesitate to get four DVDs Triton recorded in Paris in 2005, for 4 weeks (4 DVD Magma Myths and Legends, 35 years of music, Triton 4 weeks from May 10 to June 4, 2005 ), representing a weekly period of the directory. Stella and Christian Vander are stunning, and the other members training, united as ever and apparently aware of the exceptional nature of the concerts they are doing (revisit entire career Magma in a month, in a room that lends itself ideally, and attach DVD forever).
