God, it must be hard to be a myth's daughter... As irreplacable as Serge Gainsbourg was, this album might get him closer than he's ever been. This effort by Charlotte Gainsbourg and -most obviously- Air is a really close try to reviving a dearly lost father. If you want to go Oedipusian on this, you might say that she replaces her mother --Jane Birkin-- in songs that might have been her father's, only lacking the sexual context... but still dense, close... eery! In the mean time the lyrics are tragically literal: feel this woman's pain in love, film, life... All beautifully presented in a family-manner by Nicolas Godin & Benoit Dunckel. I was rather cynical at first hearing, but eventually "Intriguing" is probably the most adequate word --if it must be 1-- to describe 5:55. Anyway, like it or not; if you've been waiting for the next album of Serge and Jane: This is it! If not: Slide off into these warm waters and drift; you'll finally touch land somewhere...
