Feu Therese
Ferrari En Feu CD/LP
- Ferrari en feu
- Mademoiselle gentleman
- Tu n'avais qu'une oreille
- L'homme avec coeur avec elle
- Ce n'est pas les jardins du Luxembourg
From the opening electronic squall of "Ferrari en feu" (the album is dedicated to Luc Ferrari) through the controlled psycho-babbling chaos of "Mademoiselle gentleman" to the unsettling, murmuring calm of "Tu n'avais qu'une oreille" (with De Oliveira on lascivious lead vocal), side 1 demonstrates the range of the band's influences and syntheses. Side 2 pushes into more bizarre and playful territory on "L'homme avec coeur avec elle", which mashes up a sultry saxophone solo and vocal chirps, while the band weaves a simple 2-chord twang underneath. Album closer "Ce n'est pas les jardins du Luxembourg" is a longer instrumental composition built around organ drones and processed field recordings, with rhythmic pulses and melodic accents ebbing and flowing, caught somewhere between Dark Side Of The Moon, Sun Ra, kabuki music and the zoo. Good times all around.
