Enjoy it Faaip. It's pretty good if you can distract yourself from the lovely Kyoko. By the way, you won't see me! Proppin' up the bar (for a change)

Not Zeuhl perhaps, but its french, beautiful, violent and distubed. A fantastic five star album.


Jean Claude Vannier: L’Enfant Assasin Des Mouches


Album Description (Taken from Amazon)
The debut release from Finders Keepers Records, we present the seminal 1972 album from Serge Gainsbourg’s right-hand man Jean-Claude Vannier. Recorded during the same sessions as Gainsbourg’s highly acclaimed masterpiece "Melody Nelson" it follows in a similar avant-garde rock-opera vein. "L’Enfant Assasin Des Mouches" (The Child Fly-Killer) is a supernatural tale written by Gainsbourg depicting the journey of the young child travelling through a nightmarish "Fly Kingdom". Vannier narrates the story with sparse music concrete sounds coupled with choirs, funky beats, cowbells, wah-wah guitars and ethnic strings. Comparisons could be made with some of Frank Zappa’s "Hot Rats" material and Alain Goraguer’s creepy "Le Planet Sauvage".

White Noise Reviews
Celebrity endorsed discs too often tend to veer between utter claptrap or deeply average music elevated way beyond its level by virtue of extreme rarity. With names like Jim O'Rourke, Jarvis Cocker and David Holmes plastered all over the front you may start to think this might be something different. And you'd be right, this fantastic slab of 70’s exotica from Jean Claude Vannier is the kind of album they most definitely don’t make ‘em like anymore. It has a picture of a naked guy on a beach on the cover ferchrissakes, how could it fail?.
Vannier was most famous as Serge Gainsbourg’s arranger on the classic Histoire de Melody Nelson. There he managed to seamlessly integrate Gainsbourg’s louche vocals with moody string arrangements and funky rock backing. L'Enfant Assassin Des Mouches takes that sound to its extreme conclusion in a suite of instrumentals that runs the gamut of out there styles, cramming strings and choirs against funk backbeats, eastern melodies, clattering percussion, psych wig outs and music concrete.
It’s like getting a quick glimpse of another universe, one where the worlds of popular and experimental music have collapsed in on each other: Where the chopped up found sounds and abrasive tone clusters of Edgard Varese and Pierre Schaeffer sit next to acid guitars: where Harry Partch’s microtonal percussion is welded to blaring horns: where the rules of standard composition and arrangement are bent out of shape, thrown off course by pointillist, pizzicato strings or sudden juxtapositions of music concrete to end up in insane waltzes or full-on choral blow outs.

If that site is called 'Squidco' then Yup.

It was all going so well as well! Then I read this:

Why does everything have to be revisited? An' why do Stereolab persist on covering everything I like?
