Many of the featured artists included the standards of the day in their repertoire. Their original efforts, though, are often more interesting, illustrating the great French tendency to digest American music as one giant lump, instead of seeing the genre-divided subsets that dictated the way Americans consumed music. This made for some very interesting and original songwriting completely unlike contemporary American offerings, such as Leo Messir's Django Reinhardt-infused surf rock number 'T-Shirt' or the Leo Petit-penned 'Galaxie', which featured a melody more akin to European folk music than anything American rock would produce.
