FRENCH PSYCHORAMA
VA - Wizzz! French Psychorama Vol. 01 - Vol. 04 1966-1974 (4 x CD's)
The Wizzz! compilations have established themselves as the benchmark compilations for 60's alternative pop made in France. Copied by everyone less well, most of the songs are now classics of French pop. Frenzied jerks, weird stuff out of nowhere, crazy words, and always this pronounced taste for derision and this concern to showcase the creativity of French artists who sought to break with the traditions of the time. If you are into French music of the sixties, these collections, of rare and unpublished titles unearthed from the lowlands of sixties pop made in France, could well be a welcome revelation. The Wizzz! compilations compiles unearthed and rehabilitated tracks by geniuses and tinkerers of the underground, pillars of the second division, who competed in inventiveness and daring to forever silence the bad tongues claiming that in terms of pop, France was lagging behind.
A mix of ribaldry, flashes of brilliance, and adventurous twists on familiar sounds.We will plunge into French-style pop, unapologetic and defiant; blue-white-and-red pop that does not take itself seriously, French artists who dared to try, to experiment, 60's and 70's rarities gathered from the uncharted nooks of the French-pop galaxy. Take off on a sonic journey through the starry night of the late sixties. (Amazon)

Hi Guitarradeplastico,scraping oddities.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. A wonderful set indeed.
Cheers.
Thanks heaps for this. I got the first two records on vinyl many years ago and to see two other volumes is a real boost. I have got to say that ever since a friend introduced me to the French pop/ rock scene over ten years ago -Its a well that keeps giving. I have always considered France a real treasure site of fabulous gems. To my mind no country can equal France when it came to female fronted Psych and odd bendy pop. This will boost my listening pleasure. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteYour comments are spot on, Butterflyrobot.
