HUGUES 0.-ANTILOPE 1, LP, 1979, FRANCE

Recorded two years after vocalist and lyricist Hugues O. (aka Hugues Ometaxalia's) extraordinary Lettre D'Ocre album together with Speed Limit keyboardist J. L. Bucchi and the year following Bucchi's own Sunflower LP (both previous shared by Jim on Mutant long ago) Antilope 1 reunites several of the crew from Sunflower including former Magma/Weidorje bass monster Bernard Paganotti and Bahamas guitarist Patrice Tison. There's lots of delicious tension on hand here between AOR and avant instincts and a will to play fast and loose with how both are combined that reminds a bit of Muck Groh's Muckfuck LP.
