What should I name my jazz band?

What's the name of this French Jazz-Trip-Pop album and band?

  • Around 2000, there was an album released from a French band that sounded like what would happen if Kind Of Blue Miles Davis and Portishead were to meet in a dark alley and get on really well. (In fact, that's basically the description given by Other Music ages ago, when I purchased the album.)I managed to lose it within a month and it's been bothering me for the last four or five years. I remember that the cover was blue and I really liked the record and that's basically it Any help, members of the green?

Could you mean http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000259YA/qid=1138388795/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_11_2/402-2531800-4548935 by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_%28band%29? They are not french, but they have a huge following in France (and the cover has a touch of blue...)

I'm going second Hooverphonic as an option based upon their sound and the whole blue thing.

Is it http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/s/stereolab/first-of-the-microbe-hunters.shtml ? Not French (but sing in French), and not an entirely blue cover, but close maybe?

Well, it'd be especially hard to call OM in Cambridge as it's been closed for about 5 years now :(
