Details: Amazon.ca 1985. Bands like New Order or Depeche Mode were a hit on the airwaves and in clubs. That same year, the French scene saw the timid but sure emergence of a group by the name of Niagara. Composed of the beautiful and no less mysterious Muriel Moreno and the dark Daniel Chenevez, this duo from Rennes made a name for themselves with a track of exotic and sensual charm, "Tchiki Boum" (in reference to 1940s Hollywood musicals). For Niagara, it was the start of a dizzying ascent in the country's musical universe, which would subsequently lead to a string of hits. Starting with the singles "L'Amour à la plage," "Je dois m'en aller," and "Encore un baiser," unanimously recognized as little masterpieces with techno-pop, funky, jazzy, or Afro-Cuban hooks. Three years later, the duo made a 90-degree turn by settling into a resolutely more rock style. "Assez" and "J'ai vu" bear witness to this change, as Muriel's voice becomes more rage-filled and aggressive, and Daniel Chenevez's guitars more biting. Finally, the Moreno/Chenevez duo split at the end of 1993. Flammes revives our memories, those of a duo that has since become legendary. Pure bliss. --Valérie Dupouy Product Description Best Of
