Mendelson is a literary adventure and yet endowed with an exceptional musicality, often hard, sometimes deadpan, always moving. It will soon be too late to find out why and how such an "unknown" band was able to achieve "cult" status during its life-time. The song Le dernier disque (The Last Record) is a manifesto for this ultimate gesture, to which La derni�re chanson (The Last Song) comes to an end, surprisingly with more gratitude than regret or bitterness. Only five tracks with the bitter and caustic but also strangely soothing autobiography Les chanteurs, unlike the poignant Heritage. And with Algerie, a river-song as only Mendelson has, had the secret. Without doubt the masterpiece of this final record, a moving blow where Pascal Bouaziz manages to mix the very political subject of the previous album with the most intimate speech of a deep nostalgia: as in 1983 (Barbara) his most celebrated work, it is when he tells his own story that he reaches the top.
