Produced in Paris by the legendary 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲 𝗭𝗱𝗮𝗿 (Phoenix, Cassius, Etienne de Crecy), "𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨", 𝗦𝗲́𝗯𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿's second record, is an uncompromising album featuring contributions from artists as diverse as 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 (Fela Kuti), 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘅 (aka 𝗠𝗿 𝗢𝗶𝘇𝗼) and the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra..

"𝘽𝙮𝙚-𝘽𝙮𝙚", the first track on the album was originally written as part of the score for Sebastien's starring role in the 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘅 directed file "𝘕𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘮", with 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 striking the perfect chord for '𝘽𝙮𝙚-𝘽𝙮𝙚's rhythms. However after '𝘽𝙮𝙚-𝘽𝙮𝙚' everything came together for the album - and Tellier began composing music in 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲 𝗭𝗱𝗮𝗿's studios at 84 rue des Martyrs, Paris.

"𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴! 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘵𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥!

And that's what happened: the troops stormed in to defend the Native Americans ("𝙆𝙚𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙪𝙥 𝙑𝙨 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚"), the Mexicans ("𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙨"), two Africas, one idealized and one torn by civil war ("𝙒𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖" and "𝙇𝙖 𝙏𝙪𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚"), and a sporty East German who actually misses the Berlin Wall because she hasn't been able to play solo tennis since it's collapse ("𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙚𝙧") - in short, the oppressed were finally given a voice and re-ushered into a very personal but also universal "𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗦".

This voice is magnified by open, melodious music that is unfettered and full of pleasure. With "𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨" we blissfully sing of the pleasures of eating bananas under the sun, or of making love with the moonlight. It's that simple. Under Tellier the oppressed fought valiantly in the Martyr Road Studios, right up until 31st May 2003, when Paris' 18th arrondisement was itself stormed - by freak hail, which destroyed all of the artist's equipment. Only the master tapes remained, which, then dripping wet, he was grateful to pass onto 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲 𝗭𝗱𝗮𝗿 for the genial mix that is now "𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨".

And on this album appears Sébastien's masterpiece, the melody that everybody knows, "𝙇𝙖 𝙍𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚".
