It was time quon lattendait this album fortieth birthday, more than a year of ads and deferrals and here quavec spring Blondie is back with a box as a gift. Three discs with a live 1977 - DVD - and compilation of some of their most obvious tubes for most revisited; well they hold up those titles some of which have more than 35 years! Although the cool voice of Debbie Harry is no longer appropriate. We think rather live tracks remixed well ... (except for "Maria", original version) As for the real new album: GHOSTS OF DOWNLOAD well surprise comes not from léclectisme disk group's trademark dancefloor but its orientation and yes Blondie had dared disco, rap, calypso, jazz and well in this disc two styles dominate one hand reggae / hip-hop / reggaeton two / three titles and secondly lélectro-pop / dance. If lon or lun napprécie or the other, listening BE risk destabilizing because there is little of Blondie rock beginnings. Whiners will probably drive the garbage before giving him a chance NON me that japprécie in this group for over 30 years are its musical experiences even offend or disappoint. Ghosts of Download is resolutely turned towards the present with its flashy production and its drum machines to the dance floor, all the better, a little youthful freshness without being ridiculous this is the secret of disk Harry and his gang of false youth. Full of securities immediately humming and give fishing (Rave, Mile High, A Rose By Any name, Take It Back, Take Me to the Night, Sugar on the side) and other less obvious but good (Backroom, Euphoria) as was before lheure Forget your preconceptions and dive without shame in the album of a group that is large - 40-year career with a long pause between 1983 and 1998 - as above expectations of each other. BLONDIE Happy Birthday!
