just doing a bit of surfing about Diabolo Menthe and discovered that blowupdoll fave Coralie Clément is in it!

Looks like a great film - I'd love to see it.

Quite by coincidence (hadn't read this post) I have been quite obsessed by Lio's first few albums as well recently.
All of them have been re-released by the extremely cool Ze records.
I especially like the debut album which is still so very fresh sounding - her electro-pop take on "you go to my head" is one of my absolute favourite covers ever (and very similar in style to the great "par hasard" by Mikado - check that one out, you'll love it and the fabulous debut Antena album "camino dell sol").
On the later albums it's mainly the ballads that impress me ("Dallas" and "Barbie" of the Popmodel album being great examples, both of them being produced by John Cale, no less).

Actually Lio is back in action and her new album is not bad either, in a very laidback way.

her first album is brilliant! suite sixtine is also pretty good- i especially love 'my top twenty' and 'housewife of the year'.
amour toujours is a pretty poor album with just a few good songs. I liked pop model too but can can was a massive dissapointment.

i shall check out those other songs you mentioned!

Isn't "can can" the one produced by Etienne Daho ? I didn't bother getting that one as everybody keeps telling me it is not very good (I remember not really liking Lio's version of "the boy from Ipanima" either which was the lead single of that album).
By the way, apparently Lio didn't get on with Etienne Daho at all, which might explain why the record didn't work out at all...

As for "amour toujour", I don't think it's that bad actually, there's some gorgeous ballads on there too, but I can understand people being disappointed by it if they really liked Lio's early electro pop tunes (which it has to be said, sound still so very modern to this day)

I'm enjoying discovering lotsa new stuff here, thanks! This is a great song, I'm eager to hear more of Lio.

This song has really grown on me. I liked it on first hearing, since then it has got better and better. Thanks for introducing me to Lio.
