Who y'all got?

Academia.

In Sanction I never skip a song, while in Miracles there some songs that I skip and are boring. Sanction is excellent a record live which isn’t the case with Miracles. With Sanction you feel that the album was well prepared with the harmony if the instrumentalists, singers and atalaku’s.

Sanction is made with 3 singers while les Marquis had 9 or 8. Lebou Kabuya did all the job as guitarist along with Mike Evian while Les Marquis was looking fir help  fmof Maika Munan who was the arranger and Olivier Tshimanga.

Sanction was so powerful bro...
Miracles got great stuff tho but i prefere sanction

Easiest answer ever.... Sanction

The comparison is somewhat unfair. Academia had more time to organize the band since the members all wanted to break apart from Quartier Latin during the tour of Droit de Veto their careers weren't advancing to their liking.

Les Marquis had to scramble together an orchestra, some of those who participated had a "one foot in...one foot out" attitude like Mimiche Bass, Serge Mabalia, and Oliver Tshimanga.

The instrumental interplay in Sanction were uniquely composed to give each song it's own identity while preserving the theme of the generique throughout the sebene.

Just listen to the sebene on Otan, SDF, Faux Patron, and other; familar partitions but played with noticable variation. That's why the replay value is very high with that album in my opinion, because each song is feels like a piece of a complete work of art.

The sebene of Miracle by Les Marquis benefits from that mean guitar solo by Japonais and the rhumbas more than the sebene because the variation are quite minimal...the guitar tone is slight adjusted to switch things up sonically but the partitions are pretty much identical. Compare and constrast Diata locataire and 7eme Lecon for example; the rhythm guitar and drumming do the heavy lifting to spice the repetitive sound of the lead guitar.

As far as singers go, everyone on both album sing excellent. However, songs like Exil D'Amour and Ingratitude give each singer their moment to effectively showcase the importance of their role in both the chorus and solo vocalist. While in Les Marquis, only Celezino really stood out to me because he got the most space out of the other members. Biva Ray and Gemerose sing well, but got short changed in terms of space.

Sanction is a 10/10 for me while Miracles is a 8/10

Both albums are great, but I'd definitely take Sanction any time.

Sanction on the lead

Sanction had no "bad' songs or songs you deliberately skip after the first listen whereas Miracle had a couple of those. But the excellent songs in Miracle were extremely excellent. Way excellent than the excellent songs of Sanction.

Another plus for Miracles for me was the fact that it did not sound in any way like a Maison Mere album both in sound and style. Sanction was to me an excellent Quartier latin album without Mopao.

A tough choice between the two but I'll be the first one to go with Le Marquis' Miracle.

I'll go with sanction. It was an excellent album. I still listen to it today and it did not get old.

One of the best album from the late 90's, along with Etat Major.

Anyone also feels like there was something in common between these 2 albums? Maybe the era. Whenever I listen to sanction, the album I think of the most is Etat Major.

Maybe it's me but I find Sanction sound weird, the solo on the generique is poorly executed it sounds as if it was played by amateurs. The synthesizers ruined the generique. The group didn't seem to have a direction or a sound, the tcha tcho identity I expected them to exhibit was lost. Miracles on the hand had a sound and solo partitions that were memorable and doesn't get lost with the other instruments. As for the singing Academia had a better chemistry than Les Marquis, however Ferre and JDT's individual songs were outstanding to this day I don't think Sanction has memorable songs as 100kilos, Ecole, Amour Internet, Eric Gwyenge. On animation Bill trumps both Somono and Lipasa.

Sanction 7/10
Miracles 9/10

@dany

I disagree, the rhythm guitar is understated throughout the sebene of Miracles compared to Sanction. I do think that maybe their were a bit too much synthesizers used on Sanction but it's still good generique.
