Jane Birkin-Serge Gainsbourg : Je t'aime - moi non plus

"For some listeners-- certainly for many who bought "Je T'aime" on 45 back in 1969-- Gainsbourg's filthiness is a source of novelty, but that seems to miss the point, albeit rather harmlessly. To my mind, there are a few reasons his dirty-minded music has aged so well. The sound of it and the eclecticism of it certainly count, but more important is the casual authority with which he approached his subject matter, refusing to treat any of it, from sex to death, as taboo".

"I have no desire to ever again hear her wail and whisper her way through "Orang Outang", and yet on tracks such as "Sous Le Soleil Exactement", her high dreamy vocals are the perfect counterpart to Gainsbourg's deep, throaty—sorry, couldn't resist—voice, which is mixed to be right up close to the listener. The arrangements by Arthur Greenslade are excellent and there are plenty of glimpses of the experimentation which would be a feature of Gainsbourg's music".
