Mikado:
Par Hasard [1982]
Attends Ou Vas-T'En [1984]

The triumphant return of Mikado to these pages. (See here for another slice of their sound.) Tragically, today's selections are coming to you via the iTunes music store. If anyone is holding this material in another format, please do get in touch.

Attends Ou Vas T'En was written by none other than Serge Gainsbourg. Par Hasard was written by Pascale Borel, Mikado's singer. There's a keyboard part in Par Hasard that was driving me crazy because it reminded me of something... at last I realized it was What A Fool Believes.

Hey Anon., the lineage here is iTunes music store --> burn to CD --> re-import as mp3 --> upload to blog. Seriously, the iTunes store has a good selection; they really need to start making stuff available at a decent bit rate. AAC sound is a crime against humanity.
