Holy mother of Ford!! That is the source right there. Be careful with that thing - it's been known to make grown men mad and women absolutely hysterical.
I am a big fan myself but it didn't happen instantly. I had a hard time with the music to begin with. The altogether strange way of weaving pieces together and the choral outbursts happening in all the "wrong" places literally made my head spin. Heh....I love his style now though, but yes I still vividly remember the honeymoon

How have you fared with the ol Igor? Has it started to make sense yet or is it still incredibly confusing?

Yeah, this is something that it takes a little time to come to terms with, but I'm making progress, and I think Igor is also helping me to be reincarnated in more enlightened form next time the wheel spins

Suffice to say that I spent a whole weekend listening just to these discs at the proper level of volume (wife was away, the neighbours hate me already...). And the more I listened, the more it made sense, although at the same time I seemed to become a small dark blue alien presence in my own kitchen.

Digging the hell out of it, but in order to retain semi-anthropoid shape I am now only listening to a couple of discs a week.

I reckon Les Fous d'Or is your acid test: once you start to realise its genius, you have grokked l'essence d'Igor

This conversation is a slow mover I'll give it that.

Sorry, but I've been swamped in school work and faaaar too much drink during the holiday...so I kinda forgot about this.

Either way, I'm definitely glad that I'm not the only one who found Igor a tough cookie to crack. I gather you're onto something about Les Fous d'Or....but then again I feel the same about Docteur Faust.

But once this primal Indian-like zeuhl music starts making sense, it really does make an impression unlike anything else I've heard.

Oh and a full weekend of nothing but Igor? LOL

Good times. I remember them fondly - my mom took this picture the last time I spent that much time with my French friend:

^ And that was when you were twenty! This stuff has side effects

Don't know if I have a favourite, yet, among Igor's works. Docteur Faust is pretty great, Nagual too. Les Fous D'Or is the soundtrack for those times when I feel the need to take out my left brain hemisphere and fry it with onions and a few scallops.

Hope the New Year celebrations were thoroughly enjoyable! A week's recovery time seems entirely reasonable.

Fave Igor? I switch back n forth between Docteur Faust and Logos, but all of his albums have a tendency to ring something unique and interesting to the table. Let's Start is also incredible - especially that wonderful cover art with the stone penis wrapped in wire Confused

And yeah thanks the new year festivities were nothing short of spectacular. I remember something about dancing with a huge watering can on my arm, a lesbian that kept telling me not to flirt with her (which I didn't) whilst continuously pushing her boobs in my face, coconuts, feathers and Trout Mask Replica at 4 in the morning.

I'm hoping Trout Mask Replica is hip slang for some kind of avant-garde lesbian sex act

There's something to be said for Let's Start alright. The title track is just genius, those Krautrock boys could learn something from Igor about repetition!

I was hunting for more Wakhevitch information and found his official site, which mentions NEW MATERIAL

Then again, said recording is supposed to come out in 2014 so I'm not gonna hold my breath.
