Review From Allmusic.com:
"Lio's sophomore effort was an unusual collaboration and time marker of sorts, in that a number of the songs came from her debut, but this time translated into English (or simply rewritten) in the hopes of finding a wider audience. Even more unusual, though not inappropriate or surprising given previous French successes in their own right, was the choice of producers and translators -- none other than Ron and Russell Mael, aka the geniuses behind Sparks. Suite Sixtine sonically fits in perfectly with the Maels' own particular early-'80s obsessions, with synths and choppy arrangements marking the record from the bubbly, frenetic start thanks to the sweetly hyperactive title track. Given the Anglophilic vision of French pop as always being more of a languorous bent crossed with '60s-style arrangements, it's actually refreshing in context to hear this much more electronic effort, though nods to the past are always present, notably including a striking remake of Serge Gainsbourg's "Baby Lou." The string-laden "Mona Lisa" is an easy standout, finding a lush intersection between Euro-disco and a more classic pop bent, while "Marie Antoinette" is pure new wave mania that wouldn't have been out of place on a Rezillos release. "Sage Comme une Image," also featured in an extended version on the 2006 reissue, is even more of a glorious dancefloor move, transforming 1976-era strings and beats fully to a French context with twinkling synth breaks on the chorus to boot. Meantime, the Mael lyrical touch is immediately apparent on songs like "Clothes" and "Housewife of the Year," itself another triumph of Mael-style arranging..."

PLEASE READ:
Faster Shipping Is Available But Costs Extra. Please Note That I Work Fulltime And It Takes Me Up To 4 Business Days To Mail Out Most Items (Ebay Allows Sellers 5 Business Days To Mail Out Items). I Sell Mostly Phonograph Records With Free Media Mail Shipping, And Obviously It's Hard To Keep My DSR Shipping Feedback Scores High Because Of The Slow Media Mail. Even A Score Of 3 ("Good") Or 4 ("Very Good") Brings Down A Seller's DSR Score. I Do Not Want To Require Buyers To Purchase $6 Priority Mail Just To Keep My Feedback Scores High!!! Please Write Before Leaving Feedback If Unhappy With Your Purchase.

And speaking of FEEDBACK...
Sellers are not allowed to leave negative feedback scores (or negative feedback comments) for buyers; Ebay can remove the comments and discipline the seller. I will not respond to specific negative feedback for this reason. If you have the time, please compare my feedback to any Ebay member who might give me a negative. A buyer can't get less than 100% positive feedback, so you need to look at the feedback they have sent others before understanding their history. If you see that they are giving out negatives like candy on halloween, you may be looking at a bad buyer. I will go out of my way to resolve buyer problems, but i will not submit to blackmail to avoid getting bad feedback.
