2013 remastered reissue; originally released in 1999. Yann Tiersen studied violin and piano as a child, and made a name for himself as a star pupil at his local music conservatory in Brittany, France. He eventually began training to be a conductor, but rebelled against his classical training and, inspired by the likes of Joy Division and The Stooges, played guitar with several local post-punk-influenced bands during his later teenage years. He later became known for his whimsical, melancholy soundtracks and solo work, but also released the rock-oriented Tout Est Calme in 1999, featuring French band The Married Monk.

Yes, there are listeners
Tierson's music is romantic and cosmopolitan. Very French with a touch of Indy. Has he heard the Silver Jews? It is the perfect complement to good cheese (camembert), bread, wine, and a long afternoon for reverie. Because of it, I will study the French language immediately. Au revoir.

Tiersen - nicht ganz Amélie aber schön...und schön kurz...
Die 4. Platte vom französischen, der am meisten für die Amélie-Musik bekannt ist. Die Musik ist nicht so ganz traditionell (sprich nicht nur Akkordeon und Geige und so, sondern auch moderne Instrumente). Die Melodien sind, wie immer, super schön und wunderbar arrangiert. Normalerweise würde das für mich 5 Sterne heißen. Aber die die CD dauert nur 26 Min. 17 Sek., was für eine CD aus dem Jahr 1999 etwas kurz ist. (Und dazu war La Rupture schon auf "Le Phare".) Deshalb ein Stern weniger. Aber diejenigen die Amélie mögen, haben bestimmt auch Freude an Tout Est Calme.
