Our Take

SERGE BLENNER's latest offering, "Magazin Frivole," is a whimsical journey through the depths of experimental electronic music. With over four decades of experience in the industry, BLENNER effortlessly combines avant-garde synth sounds with a touch of ironic whimsy.

The album opens with the infectious groove of "Pamplemousse," a track that will have you bobbing your head in no time. BLENNER's use of quirky samples and unexpected sonic twists keeps the listener on their toes throughout the entire album.

Tracks like "Cafe Oubliette" and "Carrousel" showcase BLENNER's ability to create dreamy, captivating soundscapes that transport the listener to another world. The use of looped vocals and intricate percussion add a layer of complexity to the already rich tapestry of sound.

However, some tracks like "Escargot Electronique" veer slightly too far into the realm of self-indulgence, leaving the listener feeling a bit lost in a sea of disjointed sounds. While BLENNER's experimentation is undoubtedly admirable, at times it feels like he may have strayed a bit too far off the beaten path.

Overall, "Magazin Frivole" is a delightful romp through the mind of a seasoned musical wizard. While it may not be for everyone, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a truly unique listening experience. SERGE BLENNER may not be a household name, but with albums like this, he certainly deserves a spot in the pantheon of electronic music legends.
