Roy Rutanen’s self-titled album has remained a best-kept secret among psychedelia and acid-folk collectors ever since its original release in 1971. What could have been the solid foundation for a promising career in the music industry was abandoned due to the lack of label support, subsequently surviving as a one-off museum piece, accessible to a select few who can afford the price commanded for original copies.  This is the time for Roy’s music to shine through with his unique combination of moody acoustic bliss and acid-drenched solos, all of which are epitomized in the Trip Song, the 10-minutes long magnum opus of the album that might as well be listed in the Top 10 psychedelic tunes of all times.  This long-awaited vinyl reissue is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, 200 in gold and 300 in black 180gr. vinyl, remastered for your maximum audiophile pleasure, and includes an insert with Roy’s official biography, as well as never seen before pictures and memorabilia.

The album’s musical merit is hardly contestable. Although largely composed in the typically French symphonic prog vein, it is no stranger to hard prog and psychedelia, with fuzzed out guitar solos in constant dialogue with escalating moog assaults. This largely instrumental album was originally released on the DIY label DMR (Philippe de Magnée Recordings, the group’s producer and me

1st VINYL EDITION OF CHEVAL FOU

1st VINYL EDITION OF CHEVAL FOU B and name : Cheval Fou A l bum t i tl e : Cheval Fou   Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r ., splatter, poster cover 60x60 ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 300 numbered copies, remastered, with bonus tracks (download card), including 50 copies with 6 printed Fouart cards C a t. no : PQR028   File nearby: Group 1850, Amon Duul, NYL, Dashiel Hedayatt, Gong, Pyramid (Ger), Beat of the Earth, Rotomagus, Chêne Noire Cheval Fou was one of the most important, prolific and authentic psychedelic outfits that thrived on the margins of the French underground during the first half of the 70s. A precursor to the by now more well-known and equally outstanding space-rock formation NYL, Cheval Fou’s salvaged recordings are a testament to the purest made-in-Europe free-form, freak-out psychedelia. Just picture an amalgamation between Group 1850’s Agemo and Amon Duul’s Phallus Dei, with Dashiel Hedayatt dropping in for a quick jam,
