A voluptuous journey through 70s French erotic cinema

This is quite a unique compilation, while there have been various compilations of German, Italian and American erotic film soundtracks, there has, surprisingly, been few titles to cover the French genre.

I find this quite strange considering the fact that there is a great diversity of high end French erotica cinema including some of the more significant titles. It could also be said that the French soundtracks for such films are vastly superior to much that has passed for erotic music in, say, the US. Without soundly too nasty, it must be said that many American erotic films have soundtracks which are bluntly dreadful and which rather than enhancing the cinematic experience do exactly the opposite. Personally I think this comes from the general US ambiguity when it comes to erotic product, they both want it but are uncomfortable and even guilty about having it at the same time !

There is a class to both French erotica and the associated soundtracks which have always made it memorable and this collection is, in a word, outstanding.

Parties Fines is the first release in a series inviting you to experience the exotic and sensual world of the French erotic soundtrack. Here you will experience the golden age of film excess with fifteen delectable tracks each carefully selected by selected by Monsieur Clouseau and Lord Library offering all manner of sensual pleasure. Songs come from such diverse films as Le Dernier Amant Romantique, Emmanuelle 4, Sex O'Clock USA, Premiers Désirs, Erotica and various others. This selection offers some superb choices and is an absolutely marvellous introduction to the smooth sounds of French erotica.

There is a superb diversity of sound from seductive ballads to nostalgic lounge, from disco and funk to strange and unusual electronic explorations. There is a comprehensive booklet included with the pack (in French and English) which gives a background to the tracks, so if you haven’t seen these films, you will be tempted to go out and get them !

The CD itself is presented in a rather scrumptious digipack and is also available as a vinyl release.
