Victoire Scott

Well well well…look who’s back!

I know, I had such high hopes for this blog, and then *poof*, I disappeared! Or so it seems. Actually, I moved to a new appartment in October and before Otis and I could get our little music studio back in order, our turn table broke! Now we have a cheap but cute little thing hooked up and here I am.

What better way to make a grand comeback than by posting about the lovely Victoire Scott? This beautiful lady is such a mystery, even her (non official, of course) Myspace invites people to write in if anybody has any info on her.

Baroque Pop never really catched on in France in the late 60s, but as far as the genre goes, Victoire Scott has recorded some of the finest and most beautiful sweet Baroque Pop sounds I have ever heard.

When I bought this record some time in the mid 90s, I didn’t know who Victoire Scott was. I took it home, listened to it, and had chills all over from the absolute beauty of what I was hearing. “4ème Dimension” is a stunning piece of work, describing drug-induced psychedelic hallucinations of angelic proportions.

Strangely enough, it was re-recorded 10 years later by Al Turban, (brother of Christian Turban, who originally wrote the song). I’d love to hear it!

All songs from this Decca EP are beautifully orchestrated by JD Mercier and will just warm your heart with awe and fuzzy goodness.

Joyeux Noël!
