So I was watching my twitter feed today when Alex Chase said he had received a new record in the post. I clicked on the link and looked at the photo and it had an awesome sleeve. I did a quite search online to find out more about it and William Sheller. Turns out it is a rare French record from the 70s. Originally it was recorded as a wedding gift for someone, but it got a proper issue a couple of years later. Its actually one of the best things I have heard in a while. Its all orchestra, choir, some guitar and drums and some tracks have someone whigging out on a synth making laser blast noises. I’m not joking. It reminds me of David Axelrod‘s work with The Electric Prunes but not as grand, this is a bit more mellow, more orchestral. Its amazing though! I’ll definitely be listening to this for a while and seeing if I can find a cheap copy of the record. You can listen to a track below that was sampled on the Deltron 3030 album.
Odd we both discovered this within 24 hours of each other!
Aye! Very strange indeed.
