	Nouvelle Vague - Music Downloads - Online
		Nouvelle Vague is the brainchild of French producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux.
		For Nouvelle Vague, Collin and Libaux recruited half a dozen French and Brazilian vocalists who were unfamiliar with the original versions of songs like Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and XTC's "Making Plans for Nigel" to ensure that their renditions had their own identity.
		Nouvelle Vague was released in Europe in 2004 and received U.S. distribution in spring 2005, which coincided with tour dates in locales as far-flung as Shanghai, New York, Los Angeles, and Rio de Janeiro.

	Tour News & Reviews: Nouvelle Vague Concert Review - AOL CityGuide
		And onstage is Nouvelle Vague, one of the most brilliant concept bands to emerge on the live music scene in years.
		Nouvelle Vague -- its name an ode to the French new wave cinema of Godard, and an oral/aural play on words with the "bossa nova" of Brazil, from whence its sound was plucked -- is the brain child of producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux.
		Nouvelle Vague are both darkness and light, playfully covering the morose musings of rainy-day lads from Britain, in a breezy, beachy style from Brazil, with a French accent that is, frankly, all their own.

	pastemusic.com: Nouvelle Vague
		The best compliment that can be paid to Nouvelle Vague's self-titled debut album: it isn't as arch and smirking as a collection of bossa nova versions of new wave classics by fetching French and Brazilian chanteuses would suggest.
		Based on the concept alone, Nouvelle Vague seems similar to the work of jokesters like the Mike Flowers Pops or Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, but though the album is definitely playful, it works on a sincere level enough of the time to be more than just a goof.
		In fact, Nouvelle Vague's best moments are a tribute to how well written the words and melodies of these songs are; that they can withstand, and even thrive in, such different arrangements is no small feat.

	Nouvelle Vague (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Nouvelle Vague is the marriage of "new wave" and "bossa nova," two incredibly precient yet improbable musical bedfellows...
		Nouvelle Vague is two well seasoned, multi-instrumentalists / producers, Marc Colins and Oliver Libaus, who have found the beauty and heart in the sounds from this era and transformed them -- cleverly merging and arranging this radical music.
		Some of the songs are stripped back to acoustic arrangements with lithe shaker rhythms achieved by gathering a parade of heavenly chanteuses from all over the world (six French, one Brazilian and one New Yorker) as guest vocalists to sex up everyone form XTC and Modern English to The Clash and The Undertones.

		Nouvelle Vague is a French project initialized by Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux.
		"Nouvelle Vague" (means New Wave in french and Bossa Nova in portuguese) revisits a number of Marc and Olivier's favourite tracks from the early eighties, from Joy Division to XTC.
		Their idea was to forget the initial punk or new wave background of each song, keep simple fundamental chords, work with young singers who had never heard the orginal versions, and make the quality of original songwriting happen in a completely different way - bossa nova, jazz style and sixties pop.

	Incursion.org > Features > Godard's Nouvelle Vague
		The release of Nouvelle Vague comes with an impressionistic essay by Claire Bartoli titled "Interior View: Jean-Luc Godard's Nouvelle Vague." Bartoli is blind, and so consequently her experience of the film has always been of the soundtrack alone.
		"Nouvelle Vague invents a concrete music," writes Bartoli, "that does not hew the beat, that toys with the irrational." Sounds, music and dialogues are arranged in an organic and elaborate structure, much like a complex composition.
		In this respect Nouvelle Vague in places reminds me slightly of Wings of Desire (Wim Wenders, 1987), which also carries a flood of interior voices heard by the passing angels, attempting ubiquity and surrendering to the simultaneous love and envy of their human, all-too-human charges.

	Nouvelle Vague (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nouvelle Vague are a French musical collective put together by arrangers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux.
		Their name is a play on words referring simultaneously to: their 'Frenchness' and 'artiness' (the '60s new wave of cult French cinema); the source of their songs (all cover versions of '80s New Wave and Punk music); and their use of '60s Bossa nova-style arrangements (Bossa nova meaning "new wave" or "new beat" in Portugese).
		On their first album, Nouvelle Vague the group resurrected classics from the '80s “New Wave” music era, and reinterpreted them in a saucy Bossa Nova style.

	NPR : Existential Angst with an Impish Straight Face
		NPR.org, August 16, 2006 · Nouvelle Vague may deny being a novelty act, but there's no arguing with the facts: The brainchild of Parisian producer Marc Collin and guitarist Olivier Libaux, the group performs Brazilian-steeped covers of new wave and punk songs, which are voiced by French singers in English.
		It would be a pleasure to ride in an elevator with such a lovely interpretation, and the same goes for Nouvelle Vague's cover of Echo & The Bunnymen's "The Killing Moon." The song already possessed a minor-key Spanish feel, which Nouvelle Vague plays up while turning the tune into a gentle late-night waltz.
		Like many Nouvelle Vague reinventions, the lyric for "The Killing Moon" is delivered in a girlish deadpan, removing the song from its sad sentiments.

		Nouvelle Vague (all apologies to ABBA tribute act Bjorn Again) are perhaps the most credible cover band you'll ever hear.
		Although he could easily push the Nouvelle Vague experience as a high-concept gimmick, Collin is insistent upon celebrating the decade's body of work as respectable, rather than mere fodder for nostalgia.
		In the same way that their band name is descriptive in multiple ways (the term means "new wave" in French and "bossa nova" in Portuguese), titling their new album Bande A Part is a chance for Nouvelle Vague to make another statement of purpose.

	Nouvelle Vague (Godard, 1990)
		By the time of Nouvelle Vague’s release in 1990, Godard’s style became more refined and his films less pointed and jaded than his aggressive and confrontational, yet brilliant, 1970s period.
		Nouvelle Vague may be Godard’s most complex and layered film, but attempting to unlock its secrets makes it one of his most rewarding.
		The great tragedies in Nouvelle Vague occur in two scenes, one in the middle and one at the end, both involving Richard and Elena.

		His disappointments are usually grounded in his inability to express more with the medium that has come to define him and that he has come to define.
		This is a natural process, of course, and our ability to do it probably defines our intellect, but the vision presented in Nouvelle Vague is a chaotic one and the conflict in the film arises between the viewer's desire to make sense of it and the chaos that Godard dishes out.
		Throughout Nouvelle Vague, Godard demonstrates an uncanny talent for creating images that are triggers for recollection.

		Frente a ellos se erigió al mismo tiempo otro movimiento, erróneamente enmarcado en la Nouvelle Vague llamado "Rive Gauche", que surgió a la vera de la revista Positif y con cineastas más teóricamente vanguardistas como Alain Resnais, Chris Marker y los escritores Marguerite Duras y Alain Robbe-Grillet.
		La Nouvelle Vague comienza a tomar forma en 1958, cuando Claude Chabrol dirige dos películas gracias al dinero que su mujer obtiene de una herencia.
		La contribución de la nouvelle vague supone una enérgica renovación del lenguaje cinematográfico, redescubriendo la capacidad de la “mirada” de la cámara, el poder creador del montaje y otros recursos caídos en desuso.

		Nouvelle Vague performs Saturday, September 23, at Studio A, 60 NE 11th St, Miami.

		Nouvelle Vague which translates to "new wave" in English, and bossa nova in Portuguese, revisits a number of both Marc and Olivier's favourite tracks from the early eighties, taking in bands such as The Clash, Joy Division, and the Cure in a stunning combination of bossa nova, jazz and sixties pop.
		With even the name of the band "Nouvelle Vague" a witty knowing wink (or a clin d'oeuil as they say in France)at a predominently 60's cinematic trend, this album has a distinctly retro pop-art feel to it that works really really well.

		Recycling the 1980s sound has been in vogue lately, so it’s no surprise that the producing team known as Nouvelle Vague would find yet another way to mine the nostalgia for the early ‘80s, post-punk era.
		Nouvelle Vague (French for "new wave") has as much in common with the cinematic movement of the 1960s as the musical genre of the 1980s.
		"Nouvelle Vague" isn't groundbreaking by any means, but it handily transcends novelty--quite a feat for a project of this kind.

	Nouvelle Vague review of Nouvelle Vague's new album featuring Love Will Tear Us Apart Too Drunk to Fuck
		Nouvelle Vague, which means "new wave", is a collective that aims to give a fresh twist to post-punk anthems that resonated throughout the 80's.
		While these songs have been reworked into French touch style bossanova, various singers-all women-get behind the mike, adding to the exoticism of the renditions depending of the strength of their accent and on their English skills.
		Most tracks here are laid back and breezy enough to allow you to agreeably chill out without ever feeling the rage—or a sense of sacrilege—that somebody dared to take on the emblematic tunes that shaped a generation.

		The French outfit proved highly inventive interpreters on their eponymous LP, giving the very idea of the cover track a twist by handing off post-punk classics to singers who'd never heard them.
		Nouvelle's rapturous release follows that idea in a new context, playing '80s rock as dreamy '50s reggae.
		Keeping to the original concept - re-arranging the greatest, but rarely covered early '80s post-punk numbers in an original and personal way - we tried to once again re-evaluate music that was seldom considered in terms of 'real' songs.
