 RFI Musique - - PIGALLE
Pigalle's music also went down well with French music fans who loved the way the group fused standard guitar, drum and bass with traditional folk instruments such as the bagpipes, the hurdy-gurdy and the dulcimer (an old string percussion instrument).
Pigalle's concerts were packed to the rafters and the group soon went on to score a huge hit with their new single "Dans la salle du bar-tabac de la rue des Martyrs".
But Pigalle's new album was not a purely acoustic affair this time round - on the contrary, Hadji-Lazaro returned to his love of sampling and programming (which had influenced his music in the 80's) and "Alors" proved to be an interesting fusion of the traditional and the modern.

 Eggs Benedict New York: Reviews: Pigalle
Craving eggs Benedict, I was walking up Eighth Avenue in the upper eighties at noon, but all I found were diners (where the hollandaise is powdered) and Brazilian restaurants (where that sauce is nonexistent).
The almonds piled next to the pastry, rather than baked with it, were less notable than the unexpected accompanying scoop of ice cream.
Pigalle's near-empty, awkward chain-hotel ambience is no jam-packed scene, and its eggs Benedict doesn't come close to the best served on the Upper West Side, which is found several blocks southwest at Isabella's.

Atget may have chosen to photograph this building to illustrate the sharp contrast between its flat, comparatively windowless planes and the colonnaded buildings that surround it.
Although this structure is new, the Place Pigalle had been a center of bawdy nightlife since at least the 1870s, when artists and writers frequented its bohemian cafes and music halls.
Despite the Place Pigalle's colorful history, Atget seems not to have photographed here until 1925, when he made this picture.
