LES TUEURS DE LA LUNE DE MIEL-SPECIAL MANUBRE!, LP, 1979, BELGIUM

As requested, here's the extraordinarily rare LP by this pre-Honeymoon Killers project, the name of which they'd confusingly go on to use for the title of the Honeymoon Killers LP (and mind you, this is the post-Aqsak Maboul Belgian Honeymoon Killers we're discussing here and not the undistinguished New York noise unit of the same name). The music here exists at a fairly radical remove from the exquisitely loopy, suave and elegantly arranged art-pop constructs of The Honeymoon Killers, though as only Yvon Vromman would join their ranks after this, the connection is rather slight. What we have here instead is a wildly screwy and variable bunch of art-damaged explorations, whose irreverent and piss-takey post-Zappa approach bears a remarkable resemblance to that strain of French underground experimentation that extends from the the early 70's likes of Red Noise, Mahogany Brain and Komintern to late-70's exponents like Heratius. Thus, herein you'll find everything from deformed marching band music to off-key renditions of "Oh Susanna", bursts of free jazz, bouts of mumbling and groaning, deformed chanson...I'm guessing you know the drill by now. Whacked shit!
