four years ago, Francis Lai briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Escapade”. I am not a real Instrumental music type of person, but i have to admit ‘International Velvet’ really is amazing. Thom Yorke has compared writing for Francis Lai’s new album to that on ‘International Velvet’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. If I may, I suggest “Main Title”. That one song is amazing!
Escapade - a classic song. Velvet’s Theme (3:26) - awsome. As always, Francis Lai’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. The song Birth Of A Foal ending is my favorite… so catchy! I like the agression and power of Cross Country. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in International Velvet. First Love - A strong beat. Olympic Torch - A nice song. End Title as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature.
