Yu, where are you?

I ordered today Pseu (quite cheap, so I did not hesitate), after several listenings to the mp3's I had and liked it (although I have much more important Zeuhl stuff to buy).

An image quite similar to this, fell out of my post above:

...and Fille Qui Mousse should be in the archives. Merry Christmas!

Anyone au-fait with this deranged masterpiece?

Armand Schaubroeck Steals 'Ratf**ker' 1978

Not for the easily offended or faint-hearted. Sample lyric: "Pre-teen mama! Jailbait! I'll do time for you"
An impossible to find classic and will probably upset you. Serge Gainsbourg's Melody Nelson in a New York crackhouse kinda vibe.

Julian Cope has written a brilliant overview of the artist:

http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/feature/armand_schaubroeck

The album was meant to depict life on one block of Armand's city, and took snapshots of small time gangsters/hoods amassing their measly fortunes at the expense of terrorised locals. The opening title track had Armand as the underworld boss talking to a bunch of businessmen from a furniture convention from out of time. All are here to get laid by whatever means necessary and, throughout, Armand brags psychotically about being able to bring them anything, just so long as you tell him "what you want, what you want, what you want!"

It's a must hear. Found on the sublime postpunkjunk site

I met Phil Lynott when I was 14. Coolest mother I ever saw. Stank of leather and Eau-de-Cologne

“Krig/Volubilis” is a very unterhaltsame plate with rather unorthodox music, which should make a good deal fun for each friend of Zeuhl, sharp-edged jazz skirt...

Stumbled over Verto's second album from '78: Reel 1936. I didn't even know it existed. Its dark, fun and funky signature zeuhlbass-prog. Just like we all love it.

What the fark! I've been scouring every record shop in France for the last 15 years and you 'stumble across it' on some blog?!

All hail the new media

As an aside I was mooching through the vinyl racks at the 'Progressive Rock Hall' and saw Noa's only LP for less than a pack of fags. I remember paying 30 quid for it a few years back. Better condition than mine as well! No cd release likely and this is a lost classic right up there with Shub and Super Freegos and Metabolist!

[edit] Fark it. I'm buying it again tomorrow.

To my ears, this nightmarish french '76 album might as well be Zeuhl. But more important, its fantastic!

This is the info I found:

Horrific Child - L'étrange Monsieur Whinster - The Horrific Child album is, to me at least, the jewel embedded in the forehead of the golden idol that is the NWW List. Part rock album, part experimental album, part imaginary horror soundtrack, L'étrange Monsieur Whinster is a psychedelic pop audio show, flowing naturally from one surprising sequence to the next. Horrific Child was the creation of one Jean-Pierre Massiera, also the composer behind the Les Maledictus Sound project from 1968. Les Maledictus Sound were an inventive, high-brow concoction of Easy Tempo-style instrumental mod big band music, with heavy brass, plucky bass and fuzzbeat guitar. Horrific Child is certainly the logical stylistic next step from that record, evidence of the composer's having survived several years beyond the psychedelic era. A section from side 2 of L'étrange Monsieur Whinster was released in 1999 as a bonus track on the CD reissue of the Les Maledictus Sound album. Originally released on the Eurodisc label in 1976. WFMU's beware of the blog

Les Maledictus Sound was the creature of Jean-Pierre Massiera, the inventor of French progressive-rock. Les Maledictus Sound (Canusa, 1968 - Mucho Gusto, 2000) is a tour de force of stylitic metamorphoses

Massiera also composed Visitors (1974), another psychedelic nightmare that featured a supergroup of French veterans.

Massiera then moved to Canada and recorded another experimental work, L'Etrange Monsieur Whinster (1976), credited to Horrific Child, which includes four suites: two poems (Baudelaire and Lautreamont), a tribal "danse macabre" and a piece of musique concrete. Scaruffi.com

Have to quote myself.

I'm listening to Jean Pierre Massiera's collabration with compser and conductor Bernard Torelli (and guitarist on one Les Rockets album) Turn Radio On from '76. Can't find any info on it. progressive/electronic discolounge (like Cluster, Hot Butter and Martin Denny in one). Not at all dark and occult as most of his other stuff. Its the fourth Massiera album I've heard, and they are all very different from another, but all defenatly progressive.

The two green men with the blonde wigs are Massiera/Torelli as Herman's Rocket.
