Douce Felicite - LAMBERTLE CAMUS CD

Michel Lambert and Sebastien Le Camus were among the most important composers of Louis XIVs reign. While not involved in opera, where Lully reigned supreme, they were ubiquitous in the aristocratic and intellectual salons. Their airs srieux, published in several editions over the course of the 17th century, display to perfection the refinement and balance central to French good taste. The structure of these pieces is simple; their beauty is enhanced by flowing melodic lines, richly expressive harmony and texts that emphasize the enchantment and sweetness of love. The extensive vocal and instrumental forces used in the recording enable solo airs to be presented in alternation with polyphonic ones, highlighting the sensitivy, harmonic daring and contrapuntal mastery of the two composers.Additional Info: At times sounding like the evil precursor to punk metal (the title track) and at other times sounding like the Bay City Rollers with an attitude ("It's Alright"), Slaughter & the Dogs were one of the more diverse punk bands to grace the British scene. British punk was always slightly more blues-based than any other country's take on the genre, and Slaughter & the Dogs had a decent grasp on this aspect of the genre. Their songs had more tiny guitar flourishes and they came the closest to just sounding like a blues-rock band. With 18 songs included, this does tend to run a little long, but since it's a punk album, none of the songs are long enough to warrant a complaint. This isn't essential, but fans of British punk should own at least one thing by this band, and this is one of their best albums by far. ~ Bradley Torreano
