Serge Gainsborg - Histoire de Melody Nelson


Spring is in the air and its time for a sexy one that smothered the WRMC airwaves last summer. With lots of repeated themes and elements, the album is more a movement than a collection of different tracks.

The plot is more or less this: A sleasy french dude (Serge Gainsborg) hits a teenage girl (Melody Nelson, played by Jane Birken on the album) on her bike while cruising in his Rolls Royce. He falls in love with Melody and they have an apparently lustful affair.

In summation: What's better than listening to Jane Birken giggle her face off on track 6 in FLAC?
