I just tried to search for any mentions of Impulsion on ILX and only came up with an offhand reference to their greatness from Donut, who I know also loves The Micronauts, which is the group that Christophe Monier concentrated on after the Impulsion album Love Addict came out in 1998. (strangely I've never heard the Micronauts' album Bleep to Bleep even though it's a discount bin staple)

Anyways, Impulsion: I read a review of Love Addict way back in 1999 that said it was amazing and compared it favourably to Remedy. At the time it was harder to track down music not released in my country than it is now, and after a desultory search I gave up. I've thought of them later on from time to time and wondered what they were like, but never enough to do anything about my ignorance.

But I just picked up a secondhand vinyl copy of the single "The Trip" and it is the awesomeness, totally the sort of crazy dark french house I was talking about on this thread many years ago, but bleeding into jaxx/new horizons style, er, wonky punk garage, which is probably the style I most want to revive at the moment. I love the Van Helden style camp flashy agression of the snare patterns.

Also recently picked up Monier's Rockers Delight: The Rock Sound of Darkest Paris, which is a Monier retrospective (1990-1996) cunningly disguised as a compilation. It's neither as rocky, nor, TBH, as pivotal as it would like to pretend. But it's worth the price of admission for Dr. Love & Nature's "La Nouvelle", another classic slice of french house going into the dark void.

Any other recommendations along these lines?

jaxon you should bump up this thread: Rolling Stones: Classic or Dud i really want more people to have a listen to it.

I already blabbed about this dude, this is his finest hour, this track is old as hell but it still serves

Aw shit, get one latepass to the internet.

(Guess I can stop wondering why I'm not invited to the secret board now . . . )

Don't trust people over 30.

Oh, I thought it was because I was gay.

But it's because I'm OLD and gay.

Sorted!

Guess me and Morbz should just toddle off into the sunset . . .

Goodbye cruel net

don't go, drew!!!!!

all this being said, the stones remix omar posted is amazing.

drew i would invite you but i don't know your email. sorry.

this mix is for milton (i mentioned it to you last night), but it's good so you should all listen to it. weird cumbia. pretty psychedelic, almost screwed and chopped latin dance music.

http://voodoofunk.blogspot.com/2007/11/mama-unices-jazz-hi-life.html

Just copped this hi-life mix, don't know if anybody's pointed it out before. The Gerard & Cam track is absolutely unstoppable Afro-James Brown madness that y'all need to hear.

Man - that screwed-style cumbia sounds maaad corny if you grew up listening to the real thing. Can't imagine folks in Colombia even taking this shit seriously.

Actually, i take that back. This is pretty cool. ; )

The album is subtitled Poème Symphonique (symphonic poem) but it is, in reality, a sound collage recalling the events and the violence of the May, 1968 Paris student uprising. Vangelis was in Paris when the riots occurred and they clearly had a profound impact on him as expressed by this album.

simple Vangelis euro folk mixed in with field recordings from May 1968, gunshots, screaming, marching chanting crowds, students spouting manifestos. gets increasingly spacier as it goes along.

hmmmmmm

thanks for this!

i found a random vangelis cd on the street last week. time to listen

does anyone has l1pa kod1 ya on mp3

if not i will endeavor to do it myself this wkd

crazy french pop-psych-funk from '72. track 1 is a jawdropper!

this is side a, might up the rest if I get around to ripping it

what the hell is the point of rapidshare happyhour? no waiting and captchas? big deal....

the new captchas are hard!

dmr... dude. thanks for posting the dynastie crisis - heard a track on one of the cherrystones comps and been looking for this forever. would love to hear the 2nd side if you feel motivated. ur a hero.

thx for the armand! i've been bummed about losing those.

the new captchas are hard!
Glad I'm not the only one.

heard a track on one of the cherrystones comps

yeah it was on the Ocean's 12 soundtrack too! I guess David Holmes heard the Cherrystones CD and liked it. I didn't know about that until after I found this record and was doing some googling to try and figure out who these dudes are. anyway I guess that song (Faust 72) is not on this record but I'll rip side b at some point. glad you liked it.

don't those dudes work together? holmes is listed as "executive producer" on some of the cherrystones comps ... maybe that's just a label thing, though.

they probably do, it makes sense
