Fantastic mix of jazz and contemporary music, with a young JEAN CLAUDE VANNIER involved in the arrangements, probably one of his first appearance. Light surface noises, a little louder on Bside. Extremely rare.
Killer Swiss avant garde, with stunning and innovative electronic production. Strong NYC No wave influence, a pinch of minimal synth pop and electroacoustic, poetry and you have this musical UFO! With the deadly opening track "Boxing", "Utopie", "Hop on Pop" and the hot intro loop of "Ibiza". Comes with the OG inner sheet.
ELAINE KIBARO - Au Soleil (Le Carpentier Productions)
Here's the kind of record a bunch of illuminated hippies was able to release during the seventies! Totally out of control multidirectionnal music with brillant cheesy bossa ("Petite Fee", "Donne"), some crazy pop tunes, even some cosmic prod, and in top of that the monster track "Le Reveil" with KILLER BREAKS. A sort of sweety naive version of Brigitte Fontaine! Comes with the inner sheet.
THE ART OF WAITING - La Caduta Del Simbolo 12" (Toast)
Obscure Italian mixture of dark doomy prog, post rock and electronic experimentation. Very interesting 12" from '86. Cover has heavy water damages, some crackles on record.
It could be your average Christian LP, boring as usual, but you finally reach the last track and then you see the light! What an incredible moment of groove: it begins with that hard hitting B-boy breaks, then continue in a spiritual jazz veine, and cutting through a huge breakdown with another drumbreaks performance. A real monster tune, 4min25 of deep groove. Cover still in shrink, I think it was sealed the first time I put my hands on it. RARE.
Incredible record. Very moving contemporary, "New Chamber" music with nice melodies, subtle jazz/folk influences and hypnotic atmosphere. Only composed of Flute, Guitar, Violin and wordless vocals, don't expect groove for your party, but more of a unique experience. Featuring Jazz flutist DENIS BARBIER (Moravagine, Chute Libre). The use sometimes of electro acoustic production bring a great experimental touch to it. Spellbounding. My best advice is too listen some extracts below. Nice gatefold cover and record in unplayed shape.
Another mad rare '79 promo 7" by Spoerri, this time for the building trade study center. Even rarer than his Lansing Bagnall one, as nobody (even Mauro from Stigmate records) ever heard about this record! Two nice pieces of electronic and synth music, mixed with building work samples used as musique concrete !
