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, and you will catch a glimpse of that horse-headed ballerina in far-out space delivering drones with playfully sinister ferocity on a flying chess-board. Not at all surprisingly, as this is what Cheval Fou did from dusk to dawn over their 5-year long life that was so intensely creative, and so good to be true that it just had to remain the distant echo of an entire scene’s unconscious. As a flamboyantly proud homage to those momentary (int)er(r)uptions of lavaic flux bequeathed to us by Cheval Fou, we enshrined them in this limited edition of 300 numbered copies, in splatter vinyl, an open stargate to bonus tracks, and all of the above sheltered in a fold-out poster cover.  And for the inner circle of our collector friends, only 50 copies include the Fouart Gallery, featuring 6 printed ‘Postcards from the Edge’.

RIALZU biography

By
  RIALZU biography by Gilles Renne (Rialzu) and Alain Lebon (Soleil Zeuhl)   It was during the rebirth of the Corsican Independence movement that the only record of RIALZU appeared. RIALZU, a band whose musical adventure plunges me back into the far-away and almost ghostly universe of my youth.   RIALZU was created in the early 1970’s at the peak of an incredible musical effervescence : many bands, soon to become legends, were breaking musical taboos and adventuring onto virgin territories by mixing musical styles with incredible creativity and thus laying the new foundations of music yet to be. It was in this atmosphere that, as a teenager, I began teaching myself to play the guitar by trying to decipher the magical notes of my ‘guitar heroes’ from their albums. I met Christophe Mac Daniel, a young organist from Corsica, at a Jesuit boarding school in Avignon. Together we took our first musical steps by starting up a band (of ever-changing names) with two other...

1st VINYL REISSUE OF MIRTHRANDIR – FOR YOU THE OLD WOMEN

A much sought after artefact among savvy prog collectors, and not at all coincidentally, For You The Old Women sits comfortably among the top 10 most inventive and omni-dexterous US prog...
