Review by Ashley Migneault

Paris Au Printemps is an album by the French band Image Publique SA. The album was released in 1980 and features live recordings of the band's performances in Paris during the spring of that year. The album is a mix of punk, new wave, and experimental music, with a heavy emphasis on electronic instruments.

The album opens with the track "Fleuve Congo," which features a driving beat and distorted guitar riffs. The vocals are delivered in a spoken-word style, adding to the overall sense of intensity. Other standout tracks include "Le Chantage," which has a catchy synth riff and a memorable chorus, and "Voyeur," which features a pulsing bassline and eerie, atmospheric keyboards.

Throughout the album, Image Publique SA displays a willingness to experiment with different sounds and styles. The band incorporates elements of funk, reggae, and even classical music into their songs, creating a unique and eclectic sound.

Awesome! The official album should have been a double LP and featured the entire show. Maybe a new remastered edition should be released that features "extra tracks"!
