Bon Voyage Organisation 'Jungle? Quelle Jungle?' (Sony Music)
BVO are very, very French: “Soleil, soleil, solei!” they sing sweetly on ‘Soleil Dieu’. And on the Supertramp-meets-French touch banger ‘Si D’Aventure’, they create the kind of cosmic magic that Daft Punk traversed around ‘Discovery’. With the shimmering ‘Second Regard’, they aim even higher; and then, midway through, the sumptuous production starts sounding like Trevor Horn from Art Of Noise has joined them in the studio (it might be the record’s defining musical moment). Elsewhere, the medieval melodies of ‘Goma’ seem like they could burst into Chicago at any point, before Afro-funk sounds glide into earshot and everything is French again, while on ‘Hotel 7’, they sound like Air at their most majestic.
