- For the few people lucky enough to have heard the entire album in the
five decades since its release, the mythical Popera Cosmic LP is now
considered to be France’s first dedicated psychedelic album and the
shrouded blueprint for the hugely influential Gallic concept album
phenomenon that followed – including Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire De
Melody Nelson and Gérard Manset’s La Mort D'Orion.
Spearheaded by François Wertheimer (songwriter for Vangelis, Barbara and
BYG Records), composed with future Jodorowsky soundtracked and genius
all-rounder Guy Skornik, and based on an embryonic concept co-conspired
by a teenage Jean Michel-Jarre, this instantly deleted 1969 recording is
a true essential for any outernationalradicalised record collection.
With credentials that mark the birth of the cosmic funk (later disco)
that helped shape the influential sound of France today, this LP also
includes the first pressed instrumentals by members of Space Art, some
of the best orch rock arrangements by William Sheller (Lux Aeterna,
Eriotissimo) and orchestrator Paul Piot (Jean Rollin), as well as sitar
psych benchmarks courtesy of uber legend Serge Franklin – all pinned
down by the rhythm section that would later be known to prog aficionados as Alice.
Subtitled Les Esclaves (The Slaves), this street theatre/rock opera
(influenced by the work of Julien Beck’s Living Theatre) now celebrates
its 50th birth-day standing firmly as a sonic tome to the birth of the
no-no era (that rebuked France’s yé-yé hamster wheel) leading directly
to the thematic progressive network of Wakhévitch, Manset and Magma
while comprising an inter-Gallic intergalactic super group from the
early annals of France’s pop psych revolution. Imagine a rock opera
where the cast of Mister Freedom perform Clash Of The Titans at the foot
of The Holy Mountain – then pinch yourself…

In that order and for differing reasons, the Cars and the Cats were monster hits among me and my pals, back in those days of youthful edgy energy. (The Police were in there too somewhere, of course.) To this day, the Stray Cats in 1983 or so was one of the funnest rock shows I have ever attended.
@Doofy ... Seems to me Abba's Dancing Queen was only 17 as well.
I saw Brian Setzer when he opened for Dylan, 1998? 1999? Extremely entertaining show. Never saw the Cars live, but I did buy their first album on 8-track tape.

2008 - The Stroke That Kills Amazon product description: Over the past twenty-plus years, Seth Josel has established himself as a leader in helping to shape the electric guitar's burgeoning future as a "classical" instrument. This album is a statement not only of his artistry as a performer, but also as a curator of new music for the guitar. The six pieces on this recording demonstrate a variety of means and approaches spanning the reified electric flamenco of David Dramm to the sound-art abstractions of Gustavo Matamoros.
From Other Minds Webstore Feldman's long lost piece for solo electric guitar has been reconstructed thanks to the triumvirate effort of guitarist Seth Josel, Feldman archivist Chris Villars, and Other Minds. Unknowingly stolen in 1967 along with Christian Wolff's guitar case, the piece has remained shrouded in mystery for decades. The score is reconstructed in two versions: one based on a single page sketch by Feldman titled "The Possibility" and another based on a recording of Wolff performing the work as part of a concert presented in 1966 at San Francisco's Tape Music Center formerly located at 321 Divisadero Street from the KPFA archives and in the possession of Other Minds. Following Feldman archivist Chris Vallars' discovery that the tape existed, he contacted Other Minds initiating what would become the reconstructed piece. The publication by Peters Edition includes both versions and essays by Villars and Josel.
- This unique work was created for the Big Project as part of the East Neuk Festival in Fife Scotland. I joined forces with pupils of Waid Academy in Anstruther to create a memorial in sound for men of the East Neuk fishing industry lost at sea. This new work draws on the stories of the men out at sea, field recordings and interviews to evoke the men and their lives.
The work was premiered at Waid Academy on 28 June as a live performance but an alternative version is currently installed at the Scottish Fisheries Museum, but I also wanted to share this with a wider public so I hope you will enjoy it and download it to keep if you wish. No physical memorial to these men currently exists – something that retired local fisherman, Ronnie Hughes, is campaigning for. His mission to secure a monument in Pittenweem inspires this piece for which ENF has partnered the Scottish Fisheries Museum and Waid Academy. Listen and immerse yourself in the stories and sounds of the fishing industry.
