From ilikemusic.com:
Sebastien Tellier, Parisian musical maestro and performer extraordinaire returns with a brand new version of ‘Broadway’ on February 6th 2006 on Lucky Number.
Taken from his highly acclaimed album ‘Politics’, ‘Broadway’ is a shout out to good ol’ Private Rico from Robert Heinlein’s 1959 Science Fiction novel, & later the Paul Verhoeven-directed futuristic military thrill ride movie, “Starship Troopers�.
The call is for irresistibly primal hero Rico to come save us as outside chaos reigns all around. Once again Sebastien captures the bittersweet dichotomy of life within his own unique melodic multi-layering, soothing empowerment & vocal assurance that deliver us all safely back into the here & now.
If Sebastien Tellier is a Heinlein fan, believe me, he’s doing a shout-out to Rico from the book, not the movie.
