While "Voyage" still smugly with some annoying chanting - was pieces and "Mouvement Mondial" rather sleek cream, the band is testing a more zappiness out with this album and propagated here again the categorical imperative. However, the texts of this time to curl less integration problems, but about greed, arms deals or everyday. Musically the repertoire is in this album somewhere between Reggae, Jan Delay and HBlockX what throughout this album again - made audible - without skipping. A top hit for the Maxi charts is probably not among them; "Irie Révoltés" simply act more holistically rather than patched.
The band consists of 9 members, began their career with an appearance at a birthday party in 2000. Meanwhile, the band also maintains its own home page. The name derives from the Jamaican word "Irie," which means as much as happy and the French word "Révoltés," which is synonymous in the German language for insurgents. With their socio-critical French and German "Lyrics" they have set themselves the goal of bringing her listeners not only to think, but also to motivate them to fight for their ideals and to make a difference. At the same time they want to convey with her music and joie de vivre. This is "Irie Révoltés" in the tradition of the French reggae group "Dub Incorporation," which now has three brilliant albums and a live - has produced album.
The lyrics of this album are in accordance with the tradition of bilingual, mainly French and some German. A translation of the purely French songs you can not find in the gallery. A traditional booklet is missing. But the lyrics have been printed distributed to individual cards that you can draw from a side pocket of cardboard sleeve. With this album, "Irie Révoltés" would take according to my experience and the musical tastes of the average Frenchman. So it was time to conquer new markets soon.
