IMHO, the "Autres Voix, Autres Blues" CD is the weakest of Mighty Bop's
releases. His "La Vague Sensorielle" and "Meet DJ Cam et La Funk Mob"
(which has some duplicate tracks but is worth $10) are excellent chill,
soundtrack-ish pieces, whereas "Autres" makes significant use of a
vocalist to no great benefit. I'd pass on it.

La Yellow Collection is a good 2 CD overview of the 1996 Yellow
catalogue, covers a wide range of stuff. If you don't have any other YP
CD's yet, get this one first. After that, I'd recommend picking up
"Sacre Bleu", "Grand Love Story", and "La Yellow 357" (in that order).

Thanks for this review, Argo. Sounds like one to get. Here's a list of
other stuff on the Yellow label that's available from EveryCD. Which are

"must haves"? I realize people have reviewed some of these in the past
and someone has recently submitted a favorable review of the Kid Loco
album (sorry I can't give credit by name). All reviews are much
appreciated and very useful in making purchasing decisions.
