Notes
Continuing their quest to unearth some of the maddest music from the 60s and 70s, the nutters at Finders Keepers Records have brought us this little beauty - Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki!
Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki was a pseudo-Japanese concept album from prolific French production duo Jean Kluger and Daniel Vangarde. Based on a dance named the "Yamasuki", it was originally released in very small quantities on the independent label Biram in 1972, inadvertently becoming a useful educational tool for French students keen to learn Japanese.
Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki is a collection of beautiful pop songs, sung by a Japanese choir, offset to pounding drum patterns, vibes and fuzz guitar work-outs.
We listened to this once and were confused and intrigued. We listened again and started getting into it. We listened for a third time and now completely love it!
Buy this and play track 7 nice and loud. You'll soon discover that you don't need to know the choreography to dance the Yamasuki - you'll just start dancing weird and that'll be enough. Great (but as mad as cheese) stuff!
This is the first time Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki has been available on CD and has been mastered by Jean Kluger from the original studio tapes.
