PLAYLIST

After Life "Cauchemar" LP [Wah Wah Records]—Nice French fuzz rock exploito album produced by Jean-Pierre Massiera. I understand Massiera is about to be the subject of a comp soon. Massiera is the French producer who worked in disco, exploito and prog in France, Quebec and Argentina. 

Fish & Sheep "Double Banana" LP [Ruby Red]—Portuguese group that has a song called "Keiji Haino's Haircut." That's why I bought it and it's really much better than I thought it would be. Don't you love it when that happens? 

Serge Gainsbourg "Cannabis" LP [Philips]—I got to this via the 3CD box "Musiques de Films 1959-1990: Le Cinéma de Serge Gainsbourg" which is spectacularly good. This soundtrack intrigued me due to the participation of Jean Claude Vannier. The title track is amazing. The processed guitar tone is so cheesed out that it sounds like the Fucking Champs covering Badfinger. And then there's the version with Serge mopping a coating of French on top of it that's just as good. How can you not like an LP with a track called "I Want to Feel Crazy"?
