Some history on these guys: they appeared on the Nurse With Wound list. That’s probably how one even got to hear about them. Otherwise, I don’t know what would attract you attention towards some ultra-obscure krautrockers from France in the early 70s.
Musically, you have some adventurous rock mixed with jazz influence. They don’t do it badly, but there’s nothing here that would really blow your mind. Honestly, the humor here (exclusively potty-based humor) grates on one’s nerves. I’ve heard that a lot of French humor doesn’t travel well, so here’s an example of that.
Parts of this go on for far too long. Exploring how to pluck one’s guitar should not go on for 2 minutes. The hallmark for this album (Sarcelles C’est l’Av) probably is the true winner here. All that hoped for-madness is somewhat met on here.
Red Noise had all the hallmarks of being a nice, wild, weird French band. Sadly, most of the stuff on here tends to be too focused or unfocused. They were poor editors of their material judging by this release. If you’re familiar with Frank Zappa and his ilk, there’s nothing on here that will really excite you or be new to you.
