Now that concept albums are once again in vogue (thanks to you,
Billy,
Bixler and
Stevie), the time is right for the grand reissue of two wonderfully bombastic out-of-print collector's holy grails that are a kind of
Thick As A Brick for the post-
Weezer set:
L'Enfant Assassin Des Mouches by the French composer (and arranger for
Serge Gainsbourg)
Jean-Claude Vannier and
Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki, by the French/Japanese micro-orchestra
Yamasuki. Both albums are reissued by the crate-digging maniacs at
Finders Keepers Records, and both will make your hair stand on end. If you are losing your hair, they'll make it grow back.
Le Roi Des Mouches Et La Confiture and
Mort Du Roi Des Mouches (Vannier) contain enough romantic strings, sexy sitar stylings and heavy metal crunch to make you flip what's left of your wig. Meanwhile
Seyu Sayonara and
Yama Yama (Yamasuki) is akin to hearing
Pacific Overtures remixed by
DJ Doom. Buy both CD's for maximum bugging out. You have nothing left to lose but your mind.
