Arranged by Godin, Taurelle the original trakc was written by Georg Christian Lehms, composed by Bach and adapted from Bach cantata Widerstehe Doch Der Sünde BWV 54. Here Bach’s church cantata for solo voice meets languid Gainsbourg & Birkin, albeit in German, with exquisite choir and strings. Nicolas Godin says I wanted songs on Contrepoint, to act like poles that hold up a tent. This piece starts with a very strange chord, which was avant garde for its day. Bach’s scores are outside any rules, which I wanted to exploit. I also wanted the lyric in German because no one expects German to sound sexy and cool. The main singer is Gordon Tracks. The other voice is Dorothée de Koon, a friend of a French artist I know - they both have German blood.
