Alors! We are, 'ow you say, A la mode in France this week.

Almost every day I am getting emails from DJ's in France who are playing Hired Guns & Borrowed Glory.

Salut a Luc, Robert (pronounced Row-bear with a nifty accent Francaise) and Pascal who likened our CD to a 'Tasty Pancake'

Apparently the album is being reviewed by one of the French music websites and I decided to go have a look at their other reviews, to see what we might be in for.

Of course i didn't pay enough attention in French Class and had to use Google Translate, which works pretty darn well most of the time but can also make the translations slightly...amusing.

Here's a review for a recent ZZ Top album, you'll see what I mean:

Old stars are like these memorials, furnishing decor for so long that there is more too careful. Called but do we impunity its fifteenth album The Futura, when it was admitted that went fishing his second wind in the water of baptism? ZZ Top has long Gamberge, this false youthful indiscretion, it was therefore more excuses. The investigation has been completed, the process can begin ... which will end fatally by a non-place. Aficionados bark of happiness and, inevitably, critics brocardent a group without copying complex riffs and arpeggios time of his invincibility, 'Got Cold After Rain Fell', 'Give Me All Your Lovin' ',' Tush 'or 'Rough Boy'. ZZ Top but he has never played anything else? In terms of future Gibbons asked Rick Rubin, an old acquaintance of the group, to provide the taste of the splendor of yesteryear. Unexpected breakdowns, brutal weightlessness in the heart of heating, blues rock worked as a hip-hop song for consistently steep as if the shot had to jump into the studio, Rubin, co-producer, gives these plastic barbaric boogies slow, heavy and muscular. ZZ Top is perhaps offers a makeover to the console, but intrinsically, the group does not move. Still these cramps rock feigned simplicity, which hides a great finesse. Always those big guitar crunch, these owls re-re voice, solo efficient and squeaky. And comeback, passing again and again by MTV, old stagnant future. Proof? Two or three laxatives studied for like 'I Do not Wanna Lose, Lose, You'.

I cant wait to see our review murdered by Google Translate. Plastic Barbaric Boogies? Priceless!
