CECCARELLI/CHANTEREAU/PADOVAN/PEZIN-C.C.P.P., LP, 1975, FRANCE

Hard burning funky French fusion from a unit featuring occasional Jean Pierrre Massiera consort and frequent period session musician Andre Ceccarelli, here joined by several Francois Bernheim collaborators. Think Hugh Hopper circa Hoppertunity Box, Isotope and Gilgamesh, but juiced up by a lubricious horn charting funkiness in the mode of Airto Fogo, the whole creating an irresistible sleazy listening experience that whips up an unctuous lather worthy of the best of the late 70's Yugoslavian scene. The link for this died on another blog a while back, but as this has been soundtracking the better part of the last several days for both my VDO bandmate and moi, I felt compelled to enlighten those among you not yet hepped to this gem.
