Jean Jacques Perrey The Amazing New Electronic Pop Sound cd

cd
1996/1968
new
Perrey is one of the prime architects of the sound of a bright & happy future, and since the late 60s is about the last time in our collective culture that such a future seemed possible, it's a pretty impressive sound to experience. Shiny, tight & tidy original songs, many of them using ratchets & squeak toys as percussion, & every one of them written in the mold of a sped-up version of 'Georgy Girl'. Future Twin Peaks composer Angelo Badalamenti & mallet mischievist Harry Breuer both help out. Tracklisting: Mary France, The Little Ships, Island in Space, The Mexican Cactus, Porcupine Rock, The Little Girl From Mars, Mister James Bond, Frere Jean Jacques, Brazilian Flower, In the Heart of a Rose, The Minuet of the Robots, Four Three Two One, Gypsy in Rio.
