One of the rarest DMM, with the dope slow tempo "James Bang Party" and the crucial bongo jerk "Ne Tirez Pas Sur Le Pianiste". Superb horns section and piano solo!
Splendid effort on one of the rarest and most sough after French library label. Plenty of stand-out tracks with the PLACEBO-esque "Cold Stream", the funky euro jazz of "Don't Look Back", "Tides Motion", "Colour Metamorphosis" and "Air Castle".
Incredible record by SERGE FRANKLIN on his own structure Soleil Masqué, one of my favourite label. Aside is a collection of tensed psychedelic cosmic jazz and euro funk, listen to "Orient Dream", "Un Violon En Enfer", "Flash", "Nightmare N°4", "Hell's Bell". Very dark and disturbing production, with lot of weird effects on sound.
D.PERIAN / A.BALDAN – Happy And Crazy Music (Chappell)
Monster groove LP on this in-demand Chappell sub-division. Constant jerk action and huge pile of breaks for your sampler folders: "Pillot Crazy Drum", "Sentimental Crazy", "Happy Moonlight", "Crazy Love In Minor", "Happy Heart", "Crazy Baby Love" or "Last Pop Tango".
Killer bass work on this highly mythical French library. With the superb eastern vibe of "Indian Pop Bass" and a bunch of strange bassline for your sampler. "Prelude A Une Angoisse", "Percussion Basse", "Obsession Diabolique" or "Ballade Pour Une Basse". This is the very first 10" TM 700 serie press, with only 4 tracks on each side ("Les Copains de la basse", for example, is missing) but much rarer and with a far better sound than the later issue. Any true library collector can't deal without this vintage cardboard 10" cover beauty anyway!!
Ultra rare library LP with numerous killer joints. "Kenacontaquine", "Micro Magnon", "Baby Kif Blues", "Treti", "Sinadrogue", "Shocking", "Attends Bourin" or the incredible post modern bongo led "Su Hat Ki"!
Split down edge.
Top Telemusic material. With as usual the great sound and production work by BERNARD ESTARDY. With "Primitive Spirit", "Magique Bacchanale", the favourite "Locomotion Blues", "Globe Trotting" or "Visions Fantastiques" by Janco Nilovic.
One of my favourite MPI! From the superb 60's jazz music to the incredible cover art by the genius Robert Hilton. I'm usually not a big fan of Piano solo, but "Rotative" with Solal alone is a stand out on the LP. With also "Cinema Break" and "Fievre De Cheval". Sticker mark and one long crease on front.
Another major MPI release! Daniel Janin in top form with numerous funky big band like "The Flying Soprano", "Chahut Bohut" (with Pierric on electric piano? that solo is brillant), "Ici Et Là", "Strong Strings", "Ice Cool", "Piano Free Vole"... In the Top5 of the label! Some very light backing noises here and there.
