Re: Ange (from a non Francophone prospective)

Hey DEz.

I used to listen to Ange a lot, but lost track of them for a long while. I recently picked up "Culinaire Lingus" and tought it was mostly good (I like about 2/3 of it). Descamps certainly is a poet. Lots of sexual innuendo as you can imagine from the title of the album. But also a very particular sense of imagery.

I once translated the lyrics of "Emile Jacotey" for someone on the net. I probably still have that somewhere in my files. If you would like a copy, I'd be happy to send them to you. Be aware that the poetry does not translate very well because he plays a lot with words and sometimes the effect is lost, but it would give you an idea of what the heck he is talking about ;-)

Let me know.
