'Intoxicated Man' (1995) and 'Pink Elephants' (1997) are Mick Harvey's interpretations of the songs of legendary singer, songwriter and poet Serge Gainsbourg and are the first major works translating Gainsbourg's influential work from French to English. Originally Harvey embarked on the project as a result of his own curiousity about the songs and particularly the lyrics. At the time of the original recordings Gainsbourg was little known outside classic works such as 'Je T'aime. Moi Non Plus (I Love You. Nor Do I)' and 'Bonnie & Clyde'. On this collection these classic works are presented alongside dozens of Gainsbourg's lesser known yet equally intriguing and unusual compositions.
