Monsieur Durango, je vous rend grâce pour partager ces musiques avec nous. De Roubaix bien sûr, ce génie de la mélodie et du son, qui m'a bercé tout petit avec Chapi chapo mais aussi tout le reste, toutes ces musiques que je croyais perdues...
Merci pour tout.

Michael said...

Thank you very very much!
De Roubaix is
my favourite cinema composer
from childhood
Your blog is amazing!
Stay cool!

rachid said...

Avant tout...MERCI MR PAUL.....

Merci car à mon sens François De Roubaix qui était un véritable génie, a littéralement marqué mon enfance musicale (comme Ennio Morricone d'ailleurs...) ses musiques débordent littéralement de sensibilité...
... des titres comme
"La scoumoune", "la guerre d'algérie" ou la bataille navale de "boulevard du rhum" me retournent à chaque fois....

D'ailleurs je sais qu'il existe un vinyl de la bande originale de
"la guerre d'algérie"...l'aurais tu par hasard???

Merci d'avance pour ta réponse...
et..Bonne comtinuation

Rachid.

MERCI, j'avais les trois LP, c'était un génial musicien avec des idées folles, comme le steinway enregistré à l'octave et reproduit à mis vitesse dans le vieux fusil.
Merci aussi pour le french rock des seventies.

I hope I am not taking too much of your bandwidth downloading these amazing albums. I hadn't heard of de Roubaix until yesterday and I wonder how it was possible -- he's incredible. Thanks so much for posting these hard-to-find albums. Much appreciation!

jerome said...

Merci

J'ai découvert le nom de François de Roubaix dans la bio de Jean-Loup Dierstein.

Ce nom sonnait familier à mes oreilles. Je l'avais déja lu, mais où ?

Je google "F. de Roubaix" et j'arrive sur votre blog.

J'ai téléchargé un album.

Et tout de suite, le son familier des B.O. comme la Scoumoune m'a rattrapé. Des bandes son inoubliables, auxquelles je n'associais pas encore le nom de de Roubaix. J'adore.

Dans mon sommeil, ça m'est revenu:
Je me suis souvenu avoir lu le nom de François de Roubaix pour la première fois au générique de Chapi Chapo dont j'adore la musique.

Bonne continuation.

I just stumbled on this through a visit to your Teddy Lasry "Racing" post. Almost everything Roubaix that I have came from the Montreal library (a NON-VIRTUAL space), but this a goldmine! Thank you!

I am making my way thru Les Aventuriers; it is a pure and utter delight. I discovered your collection after I read that de Roubaix was "a kind of a French Morricone of the 60s who scored most gallic noir movies of his time" and decided that I needed to hear his work. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for this posting. F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.

Merci beaucoup pour cette somme impressionnante de mon compositeur préféré disparu trop tôt. Pas de déchet pour moi : des films de lino ventura (les grandes gueules, les rapaces (mon préféré), boulevard du rhum, dernier domicile connu) sans oublier celles pour JP Mocky (la grande lessive, l'étalon, chut)...
je cherche désesprément le documentaire fait sur lui : François de Roubaix, l'aventurier. Si quelqu'un peut le faire partager, ce serait Noel.

Utters said...

this is truly amazing, thank you so much, I have written about you (and reposted a couple of the links) on my own blog, hope that's ok

bbillsen said...

Thanks a lot work this wonderful music. I never heart of Roubaix before I read your blog. Now I'm addicted and have to have him on a daily basis.
Thanks.

Zacks said...

Inouï ! Un travail considérable. Des heures passées pour faire partager un merveilleux compositeurs dont chaque musique n'évoque pas seulement le film à laquelle elle est attachée, mais dont le son renvoie (pour ceux de ma génération) à une période tellement moins difficile.
Ce sont des bouffées de souvenirs d'enfance et d'adolescence qui affluent et me submergent.
Merci, merci mille fois.
