Simon is a Parisian songwriter with a demure, crackly voice whose music is rooted in Björk-esque notions of how technology and nature stream together. And this record, a compilation of tracks from her first two albums and her soundtrack for the French release of March of the Penguins (La Marche de L'Empereur), has a vivid charm. On "Song of the Storm," she develops beats by rubbing ice cubes together; and elsewhere, she embeds intimate impressions of wood, flowers, and water in her deceptively tuneful songs. Simon's one cover ("I Wanna Be Your Dog") comes from noted environmentalists the Stooges.
