Wizzz! Volume 4: French Psychorama 1966-74
Includes six-page booklet (liner notes English/French). Includes download code. The Wizzz! saga continues with a fresh
selection of '60s and '70s rarities gathered from the unchartered nooks of the French-pop galaxy. Al Awni Bouarane,
better known as Abdelwahab Doukkali, was one of the greatest figures of Middle-Eastern music. "Je Suis Jaloux", sung in
French, was released on the label Philips in 1967. "Tom" -- a crepuscular mid-tempo with a touch of soul produced for
Barclay in 1968 -- is François Bernheim's first solo release. Michel Handson signs this B-side with a touch of hip-hop
in 1973 for the label Butterfly. This track from the Swede Matty Kemer's only single, a tribute to freedom and aviation,
was recorded for the label Disque d'Or. Gilles Janeyrand's track was recorded in 1969 at the Studio des Dames.
Albert-Henri Rykaert aka Alain Ricar was a comedian, singer, and songwriter, performing in cabarets or for the theatre,
in Paris and in Belgium, then on RTB (Belgian TV). Paul Dupret captivates with the debonair B-side of the one and only
single he released for the label Vogue in 1970. Richard Hertel's first single as a singer on the label Liberty,
"Patatras Hola", also sees him play the drums and organ. Perfect groove, amused lyrics, and atonal gimmick. From a
mainly folk corpus emerges Michel Didier's flashy cover of "Rainbow Chaser" by the English band Nirvana, here renamed
"Comme un arc-en-ciel", is soaked in trippy effects by Jean-Claude Vannier. "Vedette international" is the work of the
mysterious Liberatore. Alain Serco signs a frantic homage to his best friend Kiki, the B-side of his sole single,
released on South Records at the beginning of the '70s. Gérard Gray, sensitive to rare or exotic instruments, search for
a "different" sound and put together demos tinkering with a Revox tape deck and a variety of objects. "Le Grand Méchant
Loup" by François Faray revisits Charles Perrault's tale of sexual liberation, yielding an ambitious glam-rock track.
Patrice Lamy is a romantic singer from Lausanne. "Laisse-moi médire que je t'aime" is the B-side of his third record.
The Tunisian crooner K.R. Nagati's "Sidi Bou" pays tribute to a summer romance and the town of Sidi Bou Saïd, perched on
the cliffs overlooking Carthage and Gulf of Tunis. Les Missiles are a group of four buddies from the city of Oran
(Algeria). The band's sound veers towards garage, or even pre-psychedelic music, filled with sound effects.
