CELUI OÙ Y'A JOSEPH

3.5 stars. This is album number four for Albert released in 1984. A complete change with the cover art and I'm not getting it. The music too is different at times, drifting into darker places with the bassoon which was introduced on his previous album "Armes & Cycles" but we also get harmonium here. Both are used to great affect on the song "Con Que J'etais" where UNIVERS ZERO comes to mind. But still there's lots of humour on this record, created by the vocals but with them being in french I'm missing out.

The music is fairly serious though and yes Zappa is constantly brought up when talking about Marcoeur. You know? Funny lyrics and vocals over some serious, well played music. That's Zappa. Again Albert is adding samples to the music which I like, and he brought his two brothers back. Again! Both are playing drums and percussion this time. I like this one and the previous record "Armes & Cycles" the best when it comes to Albert's music. This is Albert's music, not my music.
