Anyone remember Desireless?

#1 Post by wirral39 »

I heard 'Voyage Voyage' the other day for the first time in ages and remembered what a great voice Desireless had. The look has changed in 20 years but you can see Desireless lip-synching to the PWL remix at the Wianki festival in Krakow on

and then I got the album called Francois which I have fallen in love with. There is a track called 'Oublie-les oublie' which uses the same sound effects as PSB/Eighth Wonder's I'm Not Scared, and another one called Qui Sommes Nous which sounds like it has been produced by PSB. You can see the Magritte-inspired video for this at http//www.desireless.com

It would be great to see a PSB collaboration.

Absolute belter of a tune, played it on night on my ipod at a party and everybody was like "oh my god i aint heard this in years, TURN IT UP".......i didn't realise how many people loved this song.Guess part of it is nostalgia as well.

Voyage Voyage (the PWL Britmix especially) is an absolutely classic track. Fantastic - 80's French synthpop at its absolute best.

"Il dort" is a great song as well.

Ok for a PSB collaboration, but just after the one with Alain Chamfort, please :wink:

Gawd, please leave it to Andy Bell...
"I think it’s an amazingly good album, I’ve got to be honest with you. It’s one of the albums I feel most proud of. But for people who don’t really know us, and have a sort of an idea about us, ‘Electric’ is more what the Pet Shop Boys are meant to be."
(Neil Tennant, speaking about "Elysium" on the eve of "Electric" release.)
