The ecstatic voice of worldbeat songbird Natacha Atlas cries out to the heavens on "C'est La Vie." Her impassioned, over the top performance, with a hint of humor, contrasts against the cool, disembodied delivery of Laurie Anderson, who reprises her role of digital diva from "Zoolook." This is Jarre at his most playful, and sublime, using singers as musical instruments, playing with phonemes and fragments. He skillfully integrates conventional instruments into his mix, using the violin of The Corrs' Sharon Corr as a Celtic oasis within the mechanized menace of "Rendez-vous Á Paris." Tracks like "Miss Moon," featuring the chameleon voice of Diedre Dubois, the American singer in the French band, Ekova, are updated variations on the kind of epic works we've come to expect from Jarre, but with an edgier, modern electronic vibe.
