Note the title really is "contéee" (an intentional misspelling). See http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/2952204012.08.LZZZZZZZ.jpg -- Curps 14:55, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

However, it is also "Sibérie m'était contéee" and not "Siberie m'etait contéee", since the title is written in capitals and French (except in Quebec) usually drops accents on capital letters, but often makes an exception for E-with-acute-accent in word-final or near word-final position, since in this case it could be mistaken for silent "e". -- Curps 15:56, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

It looks a lot like "Siberie m'etait contéee", given that at least twice the title *does* contain accents (to wit, in contéee and crève), so I don't tihnk the lack of them in the other two words is following some rule of not showing accents. But arguing about spelling for a pretty nonsensical phrase when you've already got "contéee" is a bit, um, pointless. Incidentally, I think the blue "B" strongly supports the "Si Bérie..." hypothesis. Stevage 18:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What about the album?

[[How's the music on this album? Does anyone know?]]

I like it. I got it last night and have only played it once so far but definitely liked it. It's quite different to the other albums but has that distinctive Manu Chao sound. It's all in French so you lose the playful switching between languages. What amazes me is that it's so difficult to get hold of. Why go to all the bother of recording a full album and not put it on general release?

[edit] Availability

How can this album be obtained by people in the United States? Retailers such as Amazon list the album as an Import title that is not currently available.

Order it from Amazon.fr. It cost me Euro 30 including postage.
