In May 1968, Paris was burning. Out of the student uprising came a new wave in French music that matched the country's mood - darker, and more introspective than yé-yé, France's cultural revolution allowed the previously separate worlds of chanson, jazz, pop and film soundtracks to blend into each other. Laden with strings and sample-ready rhythm tracks, this new sound was exemplified by Serge Gainsbourg's "Histoire De Melody Nelson", but it wasn't an isolated classic - this was a golden age for French pop.
