This 2000 posthumous release compiles tracks from Ferré's final recording sessions, offering a raw and intimate glimpse into his late-career work. The album captures the artist in his later years, his voice weathered but his lyrical intensity undimmed.
- The album title, "Métamec," is a portmanteau of "métal" (metal) and "mécanique" (mechanical), reflecting Ferré's often dystopian lyrical themes.
- The recording sessions for this album took place in the early 1990s, shortly before Ferré's death in 1993.
- The label "La mémoire et la Mer" (Memory and the Sea) was founded by Ferré himself in 1970 to maintain artistic control over his work.
Léo Ferré was a French singer-songwriter, poet, and activist, known for his Chanson-style music, often with anarchist political themes. He was a prominent figure in the post-war French music scene.
