Legendary list of bands which came with their first LP (and updated on their second). Very difficult to complete!

A Side label:

It's Thursday night. The weekend starts tomorrow

A big thank you for the copy of Mosaic 'Ultimatum'. As mentally unstable and orgiastic as one could wish for ! What the fark was in the water supply in France in the late seventies ? Will review. In time.

And a few ice-cold beers await whoever got their hands on this jewel. And sex (male or female. I ain't too fussed)

I like it! Mmm.

And anyone who likes all that would love this Avantprog/RIO/New Wave/electronic, thinsounding italian secret from from '87. Not in the archives, but should be:


Edit: Sorry, the image fall out. LA 1919 Ars Sra
 
All the info I could find:

Luciano Margorani & Piero Chianura, with contributions from John Oswald, Henry Kaiser, Enrico Salvi, Fabio Martini and Angelo Avogardi....Couldn't find any detailed information about the group, but this recording is clearly a pan-Atlantic collaboration, with master tapes sent between Milan and California. Side A (tracks 1-4) is Italian, side B features the American artists, with Henry Kaiser performing on four tracks. Travellingluck.com

I should probably have posted this (and Art Fleury) in the RIO Drop in thread, but with this new name, its sort of ok. Posting something obscure like this in the suggesting bands tread is pointless, it very fast will fall out of the first page with no replies. (And with ca. ten people having had a look, four of them being myself)

Now I have found this thread, this was originally where I was going to post this as some of the collector see this one as having the Zeuhl spirit.




Ma Banlieue Flasque

Ma Banlieue Flasque (1979) (Celluloid LTM 1.021)

Nothing does crazy like French experimental music, but some of it wouldn't have been done in the first place if it wasn't for Frank Zappa. From the opening vocals on the album, it's evident that, vocally, the intent is satirical and humorous (although most of this is lost on me, due to the language), and the falsetto is typical of Frank and co., especially in the "Baby Snakes" days. MBF have a guitars/sax/flute/bass/drums instrumental line up and there is plenty of room for instrumentals once the initial "13'20 D'Happiness" is over. "N.S.K." shows strains of "Legend" period Henry Cow, with more falsetto vocals, and some very nice drumming. I think it's about two minutes into this track that you hear one of the first of several instrumental jams on the album, definitely what make this piece compulsory. Brilliant drumming, a chance for some really nice solos, including bass. A Canterbury-like flavor permeates, subtly similar to early Caravan's jams, a great piece of music. The album really escalates in quality from here (don't let the first track put you off.) "H.B.H.V"'s slight Happy the Man feel is quite captivating, although the scaling is slightly off-kilter, and when the lead guitar kicks in, you start to realize how much Gong is going on here as well. The last two tracks continue at an incredibly high level of energy, the music just gets better and better. No doubt there were some RIO connections going on, there's some excellent playfulness here that only the best musicians master, an interplay that is on an unusually high level. A great one-shot, no doubt, recommended to fans of RIO, Jazz, and Canterbury.

Also, the Mosaic did sound quite nice. Only listened through it once at the moment. Had heard it before, but this listening brought back some good memories. Thanks to those who made a bit of hipe about them.

Totally agree. The French are masters at it. Any medium
