AXOLOTL-OUTMANOEUVRE, LP, 1983, FRANCE




Seriously breathtaking vanguardist brilliance here from a French unit who's previous debut LP, posted here by Jim a while back, cannot begin to prepare you for the contents of this monster. By the time that they'd recorded this, Axolotl (not be be confused with the contemporary experimental band of the same name) had re-tooled the improv tendencies that dominated their debut into finite blocks of freeform mangle inside the context of cockeyed and highly formally advanced art rock that parallels the activities of a very rarified strata of French sonic derangement from Un Drame Musicale Instantane/Birge Gorge Shiroc to Philippe Doray, D.D.A.A., Jac Berrocal, Heratius and the Look De Bouk/Helllebore/Szentendre axis. A top tier mindbomb.
