Encore une fois

"Encore une fois" ([ɑ̃.kɔʁ yn fwa]; French for "One more time") is a song by German DJ group Sash!, first released in 1996 on the PolyGram sublabel Mighty.

Throughout Europe, the track became a top 10 smash in countries such as Belgium, Finland, France, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden.

"Encore une fois" was initially meant to be a big club record but it outgrew that and the group would become a pop act in its own right.

[4] Barry Walters for The Advocate said, "Ripping off all those intensely dramatic Rollo mixes for Faithless, Kristine W, and others, that trance track you keep hearing with the girl screaming in French defines clubland à la mode — fabulous now, soon tired.

[6] Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel felt that "a smoky undercurrent" on tracks like "Encore Une Fois" "expose the darker side of dance music.

"[8] A reviewer from Smash Hits commented, "Think Faithless' "Insomnia" in a trancey continental style", and remarked that the song is "big on the synth stabs, massive on bangin' 4/4 beats, huge on some husky French bird screaming, "Encore une fois!".

It entered the top 10 also in Belgium (5, in both Flanders and Wallonia), Finland (5), France (7), Iceland (5), Italy (4), the Netherlands (9), Norway (4), Spain (5) and Sweden (6).
