Cargo de swing, Cargo d' electro

Every chance I get to mention, promote and/or write about Cargo de Nuit by Axel Bauer, I take. It's one of my alltime favourite records, even if it's over 20 years old. The video (see above) is still great, marvellous guitar playing, love that stomping beat. Last year's Star Academy winner (an Idols-like star hunt) Quentin Mosimann covered CdN for his debutalbum. Interestingly, he did swing-versions Sinatra-style of French hits from the 80s (like Etienne, and C'est La Ouate) on one disc, and electrohouse versions on the other. CdN was remixed by Tepr and Grand Marnier, who also worked with Yelle.
