Alonzo Penningto

Produced by the likes of Gee Futuristic and Spike Miller, Les Temps Modernes is the debut solo album from French MC Alonzo. Following the previous year's mixtape Un Dernier Coup D'oeil dans le Retroviseur, his 2010 release features contributions from Lygne 26, Ghost Dog, and his bandmates Psy 4 de la Rime, alongside the singles "Je Suis le Quartier," "Braquage Vocal," "Chacun Son Vice," and "Enorme."

« Démunis » , « exclus » , « nouveaux pauvres »… À l’heure où les conséquences économiques et sociales de la crise financière fragilisent ceux qu’un ministre avait un temps désignés comme « La France d’en bas », Philippe Alonzo et Cédric Hugrée reviennent sur les travaux et enquêtes sociologiques qui ont forgé la catégorie de « classes populaires » et en ont fait un outil pour décrire et comprendre le monde social. …

Lively, ambitious, almost entirely successful debut album, made up of keyboard-dominated instrumentals ("The Barbarian," "Three Fates") and romantic ballads ("Lucky Man") showcasing all three members' very daunting talents. This album, which reached the Top 20 in America and got to number four in England, showcased the group at its least pretentious and most musicianly – with the exception of a few moments on "Three Fates" and perhaps "Take a Pebble," there isn't much excess, and there is a lot of impressive musicianship here. "Take a Pebble" might have passed for a Moody Blues track of the era but for the fact that none of the Moody Blues' keyboard men could solo like Keith Emerson.
