"There's an ambition, a conceptual depth to Melody Nelson that's incredibly hard to pull off but which Gainsbourg does completely. It's very cool and its dynamic is genius…It's one of the greatest marriages of rock band and orchestra that I've ever heard." – Beck

French icon and national treasure Serge Gainsbourg is no stranger to sexual proclivities, and with his 1971 Historie De Melody Nelson he shared an erotic tale as seductive today as the day it was released. Nelson is often cited as Gainsbourg's master work, an essential album for the discerning music lover.
