Il est bel et bon

Jay's post of 'a perfect song' inspired me to look beyond the 70's feel good pre-disco dance rock that has been filling my head lately. So here is something I truly believe in. The electronic back up is intensly quiet, affirming my foundation of a no-instruments future. The song was written by Passereau and arranged by Ward Swingle in the most anti-Enoesque fashion possible: on paper. This song makes me love my life.


The Swingle Singers - Il est bel et bon

Which album is this from? I have the Swingle Singers do Bach and Baroque albums, but neither have this kind of amazing disco-pop thing going for them. Then again, hearing Bach performed with Jazz drumming accompaniment is pretty amazing in its own right.

Swingle Singers! You're the first music blogger I've ever seen refer to them. Either I'm not getting out enough or you're just... swell like that. Could both be true?!

This is from the amazingly titled "love songs for madrigals and madriguys" which features purely electronic instruments. Thanks for the comments! This is truely one of my all time favourite songs. If i ever dj-ed battled against Jay Watts The Third, I would use this track as my secret weapon.

If it's masculine it's not 'bel' it's 'beau'.

But everything else is so ace.
