Bernard Lavilliers: Utopia


 An interesting new vesion of a work by political artist Bernard Lavilliers.

He take is work that originally appeared on a 1977 album and bring it right into a mordern context with a contemporary urban soundscape surrounding the words.

The track Utopia appeared originally on his 15e Round album, this new version was re-recorded by Lavilliers, the music by Xavier Tribolet.

Lavilliers notes that the work, 40 years after it was written, remains valid.

During is long career Lavilliers has engaged with a variety of genres, from rock to reggae and Brazillian, so putting the work in a new frame is a natural progression.

The new version of the song is available as a free download from http://listn.to/bernardlavilliers
