Tourist: Remastered

A lot has been said about this album. So no need to say any more. Because in the end, Tourist doesn’t have anything to prove. Been there done that. 3 million albums sold worldwide.
Or how an album that sets itself a high standard finds its own audience. A mass audience. This kind of tale is quite rare in the music industry. Because in the end, you can say what you like, Tourist’s appeal completely overwhelmed us. The stuff of dreams for the guys in marketing. He has become the “in” soundtrack in this somewhat stuffy start of the century. You can’t go to a hip restaurant, fashion show, or club without hearing St Germain. And not only in France, it’s a global phenomenon! Few French art-ists can claim to have outsold the Beatles in New Zealand. There aren’t that many to have had every-one dancing at the Royal Albert Hall either.
First released in Australia in May 2000, Tourist has gone on to sell in excess of 140,000 units.
