"Un jour, on reçoit cette chose sous pochette grise et photo noir et blanc : la chanteuse, inconnue, s'appelle Jeanette, et le mini album "Hum". Il est envoyé par un type d'une maison de disques qui "pense que ça va te plaire". Pour une fois, il tombe juste. "City Blues" est la voix du fantôme de Billie Holiday, joué par une fille blanche qui chanterait pour un seul."
Avec cet extrait du très beau "Sur le rock" de François Gorin resté dans un coin de notre mémoire, on aura cherché ce disque pendant longtemps, lors des déambulations dans les conventions de disques. Découvert tardivement l'année dernière, il ne nous aura pas bouleversé. Gorin le citait aux côtés d'une certaine new wave anglaise que j'appellerai volontiers "bluewave" : Young Marble Giants, Everything But the Girl, Week End. Cette sorte de blues urbain synthétique préfigure aussi le très beau "Hats" du Blue Nile.
Mon exemplaire de "Hum" est en état très moyen mais vous permettra de vous faire une idée.
(Pour ceux qui se poseraient la question, cette Jeanette n'est pas la chanteuse de "Porque te vas", ni Jeanette Landray, la voix qui accompagnait Robert Smith au sein de The Glove)

I really LOVED these two LPs by Jeanette...mostly because they were written by Furniture members such as Tim Whelan, and the music resembles both Furniture and The Associates, two of the 80s' most underrated yet important bands! Magical piano ballads led by powerful vocals and jazzy rhythms...very hauting music!
Have you got the Jeanetics album "Scale 0-100", as well?
cheers from Rome

hi sleepdriver and thanks for your interest! I'll post the Jeanetics soon !
I didn't know Furniture, I found their albums on funderglass.blogspot.com & nrrules.blogspot.com...
Thank you very much, Starsailor! Can't wait fro Jeanetics :-)
I'll search for something by Week End...and I highly recommend you every Furniture album since their music is unique, especially the songs "Love Me", "What The Fog Said", "Why Are We In Love?" and "Pause"...all masterpieces!
Please subscribe to their mailing list http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/wrongpeople/

"Sunny Side" (1983),
"In The Morning" (1984),

"Twilight Playground" (1985),
"Cut"(1985),
"Let's Take Over" (1985),

Have you got some of them to share?

hi sleepdriver : no I don't have any of the other tracks she recorded, I would have told you already, since you are so enthusiastic about her ;-)
Do you have more details about the song with This Mortal Coil? Are you sure it's not Jeanette Landray ?
cheers.
Hi! Sorry for my newbie's enthusiasm ;-)
Anyway, infos about her collaboration with This Mortail Coil can be found here:

Anyway, I found an mp3 of Jaqui & Jeanette's "194 Radio City"...very catchy reggae-funk stuff, somehow reminiscent of Fashion, at least to my ears...you can find it on soulseek :-)

How amazing this is, I was looking for releases from Jeanette Landray and tumbled down on Jeanette... On the first notes of HUM I immediately thought about Iva Bittova, and the song Leo is just amazingly simple yet evolved and brilliant. About Jeanette Dwyer and Jeanette Landray there is really something weird here, as Robert Smith was a good friend of Billie Mackenzie of the Associates...
Oh almost forgot! Can you please reup these? Please? Please?
(il est dingue ce blog, trouver ça, Albert Marcœur et Hint sur le même mois, ahaha)

Hello, many tend to mix up Jeanette Dwyer and Jeanette Landray. It is Landray who performed with Jacqui & Jeanette, NOT Dwyer. Dwyer almost recorded (but sadly never did) with Analysis, the initial version of what in the end became Oppenheimer Analysis. Very early on, Dwyer started recording solo, continuing to do so with the help of the Furniture crew. Her This Mortal Coil contribution was pretty much obscured for years - she deliberately asked to be credited as "Jean" on Filigree and Shadow, due to her dislike of recording cover versions so she instantly shied away from the project. Her solo records are indeed worth tracking down. Amazing vocalist that should have been HUGE!
Hi fellow Jeanette fans,
I'm dying to hear the Jeanetics album "Scale 0-100" if anyone still active on this blog has the link??? I'd be extremely grateful if someone could send the link to:
robbieaee@gmail.com
Much love to you all!
