Nostalgie

Everytime when I'm thinking, hm, it's been a while since I posted a track by Serge, an opportunity comes a-knocking. Manu Markou & Odile Closset have a new album out, Démantibulés, and chose to cover Serge's La Nostalgie Camarade. That song, originally on Mauvaises Nouvelles des Étoiles, is a key track for Manu & Odile. The album is about, well, the misunderstandings between man and woman - so there. Manu decided to de-reggae Nostalgie a little, add some triphop-effects, but the bouncing rhythm is still there. On the original version, the I-Threes (Marcia Griffith, Judy Mowatt, Rita Marley) sang, and legendary reggae-tandem Robbie Shakespeare en Sly Dunbar played drum 'n bass. Included here is the dub-version of Nostalgie (mixed by Sojie Hamilton) from the special-edition of Mauvaises nouvelles.
