''Cadavrexquis'' is a studio album by French singer Amanda Lear, first released by Chène Music in 1993. == Background == ''Cadavrexquis'' was a collaboration with French musicians and producers, and German production team Bass Bumpers, recorded in Imagine Studio and SBC Studio in Paris. It was Lear's first English language album since 1986's ''Secret Passion'' and marked her definite return to the dance genre. The album showcased material heavily influenced by eurodance, which in the early 1990s was reaching its prime. The title of the album is a reference to the Surrealist game of exquisite corpse (in French: cadavre exquis). Apart from new songs, ''Cadavrexquis'' included three re-recordings of Lear's hits from the 1970s: "Fashion Pack", "Follow Me" (both with updated lyrics) and the downtempo version of "Lili Marleen". Two songs were ultimately left off the album: the dance track "Voluptas" and the melancholic, autobiographical ballad "Glad to Be Alive", also known as "Sixties Survivor", paying tribute to Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Nico and other celebrities Lear knew herself. "Fantasy" was released as the album's only single, first in Belgium in 1992, and subsequently in other countries of Continental Europe in 1993. The dance track, recorded with Bass Bumpers〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amanda Lear Biography )〕 and mixed at Orange Room Studio in Germany, slowly grew to become something of an underground hit in gay clubs. The new version of "Follow Me" was released as its B-side in certain territories and received moderate promotion on TV, although never was released as a separate single. ''Cadavrexquis'' was initially only released by minor French record company Chène Music and didn't gain much attention, but the success of "Fantasy" resulted in German dance major Mint Records licensing and re-issuing both the single and the album. The German edition was released with original track listing, but different cover. In 1995, Mint Records released the album in Russia, with the same track listing, but again different artwork. Despite warm reception from fans, ''Cadavrexquis'' failed to chart. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cadavrexquis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
