This guy is amazing. His songs sound like they could be a movie soundtrack. Beautiful.
This is probably the best album I have so far encountered on Jamendo. Often albums have one or two really good songs, and the rest are a little mediocre. This is definitely not one of those albums. Pretty much every song is a great listen, excellent sound quality and execution. I was really struck by the sound. I couldn't figure out if it was all synthetic sounds, or if there were actual orchestral instruments. The execution sounded too perfect to be human, yet to real to be synthetic. My favorite track here is 1934. I love the quick bagpipe rhythm. The cover is attractive as well. Really, there is precious little that could have been improved on here. I can't wait to hear more.
I am sure all the other reviews are wonderful, I am writing this one because I felt there should be one from an English speaker. The album could be a little longer, but the tracks that are there are top notch. I think the style of this album is consistent with others in its genre (Rock-chanson française). I would describe the sound as vocal with guitar. Onomatopées is my favorite track hands down. There is songs from their other album I like as well. If Zam's isn't my favorite Jamendo artist, they're definitely in the top 3. I have no idea what they are singing about, but if the words are anything like the sound, they should be neat. Some of the albums here suffer from poor audio quality. Zam's is definitely not in that category. A shining example of what the French can do. Kudos.
