His second album, Les Années Sombres ("The Dark Years"), a somber album that also went gold in its first months was released in 1995. In 1996, he regrouped with part of the Chihuahuas for the album Frères Misère (Brothers in Misery). Its rhythms are closer to punk, and the texts are more topical than his solo albums. With little media attention, the album failed to meet immediate success.
The release of his next album: Je sais pas trop ("I don't really know") was in 1997. Recorded live and featuring, once again, original melodies and sounds, it was a Gold record in France. Two years later, Mano Solo recorded the double album Internationale Shalala, live at the Tourtour, a little theatre where he played regularly since the beginning of his music career. He sings and plays guitar on the album, accompanied only by another guitarist, Jean-Louis Solans. The songs come from earlier Solo albums, except for Shalala, a hymn of "inner revolution" that the artist sang together with his audience at the end of every concert, with a positive and dynamic message.
His second live album, La Marche (The Walk), was released in 2002. It consists mostly of songs from the album Dehors ("Outside"), released earlier (August 2000). With the album comes a DVD featuring photos and videos from concerts, and CG animations from Mano Solo's imagination.
In 2004, Les animals was released. As with other Solo albums the sound was new, the lyrics contained much poetic language, and the songs were performed energetically. Some titles were new recordings of old songs. The song Botzaris, recorded with Les Têtes Raides, was featured on the album. Solo appeared on two tracks on the album Dans le caillou by Karpatt.
Solo had been HIV positive for years secondary to his youthful drug use. He was rushed to hospital after a concert in Paris on 12 November 2009. There he died at the age of 46 on 10 January 2010, due to his illness. He is buried at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

Allo Paris
Mano Solo Lyrics
C'est reparti
Allô Paris, il est si tard
Les doigts collés au combiné
Je relance encore avec l'espoir
De te parler, j'ai beau savoir
Que ça me fout le cafard
Je peux pas m'empecher d'y croire
La nuit sonne ses derniers coups
J'irai jusqu'au bout
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu
Quelque chose de bien
J'aurais voulu que tu me dises viens
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu
J'aurais voulu, oh-oh
Et la debout sur le trottoir
Comme chaque soir je te raconte
L'histoire des larmes de rue
Dans les bars qui puent les regards moisis
Et les corps meurtris
Allô Paris, tout est fini
Et putain, je suis fatigué
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu
J'aurais voulu quelque chose de bien
J'aurais voulu que tu me dises viens
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu
J'aurais voulu, oh-oh
Allô Paris, tout est fini
Tu m'as tout pris même l'envie
Tu ne te souviens plus de rien
Tu oublies un peu plus chaque matin
Ta mémoire coule le long des trottoirs
En noyant mon désir dérisoire
J'aurais voulu quelque chose de bien
J'aurais voulu que tu me dises viens
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu
J'aurais voulu
Allô Paris, tout est fini
Tout est foutu
J'aurais voulu, j'aurais voulu, oh-oh
J'aurais voulu quelque chose de bien
J'aurais voulu que tu me dises viens
J'aurais voulu quelque chose de bien
J'aurais voulu que tu me dises viens
J'aurais voulu

La première fois que j'ai entendu ta musique j étais en cure, je devais avoir 22ans, je deprimais et un mec derrière moi me met un casque sur la tête et là j entend au creux de ton bras, bref je dis pas comment ça a finit, c'est loin tout ça j ai 46ans, et depuis se jour tu m as accompagné pendant des années, tu me manques, pour moi la vie continue et c'est pas du gâteau, mais comme tu le dis y me reste encore une bonne droite et je l ai pas encore collée dans la gueule du monde entier...

Manu tes textes me manquent! Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de croire que tu bois des coups avec ton père et que vous veillez sur nous ... et qu'on ne bascule pas ... qu'on reste humain toujours !
