Encyclopedia
Reserection EP was a 1995 release by French pop star Étienne Daho
, working alongside English dance-pop band Saint Etienne
. It was only released in France and Japan.
The "resurrection" of the title was a response to rumours at the time that Daho was HIV
-positive, or even that he had already died. The opening track, "Reserection", puts the matter to rest as Daho states that he will rise from his "cendres fiction" (fictitious ashes) "encore et encore" (again and again).
The only English song was "Accident", a reworked version of Daho's 1984 French-language hit single "Weekend à Rome", with original English lyrics. Daho's speech from "Reserection" is also reprised within the song. "Jungle Pulse" and "X Amours" are French-language reworkings of Saint Etienne's "Filthy" and "Paper" respectively.
Daho only released "Jungle Pulse" as a single at first, but later Eurodance
producer Steve Rodway
produced a remix of "Accident" that became "He's on the Phone
