A rather mixed bag. As a former audio engineer, I've always found it
interesting and quite fun to listen to the individual instruments or
voices of a multi-track recording. That's basically what the a capella
version of "Because" is all about. If I'll retain something from this
album, then what brilliant vocalists they were. Becomes even more
obvious here than in some of the original versions.
Then again, to someone who has grown up with French pop music, those
funny "a gogo" transitions between titles sound too much like Laurent
Voulzy, a French pop singer who came to fame by doing "medleys" of
famous pop and rock songs ("Rockollection") with quite similar
transitions, in the 70s.
An entertaining curiosity but nothing that will really make it into
music history. I enjoyed it but it I'll always prefer the original
versions.
