TOUPIDEK LIMONADE-IL Y A DES NUITS ET DES NUITS, CD, 2000 (RECORDED: 1985), FRANCE

I've spent a fair amount of time documenting the peerless and inter-related doings of the cabal of art brut mages associated with the bands Look De Bouk, Szentendre, Rock Feller and Germain Hubert Ales, but somehow failed to get around to the remarkable iteration of this aesthetic proffered by this wonky sounding collective. The sonic universe investigated on their debut outing here (originally issued as a cassette in 1985) is fragmentary, irregularly shaped and larded with charm. Offered up in bite sized morsels, their sound at times comes very close to Pascal Comelade's toy instrument constructs, but affecting a more cockeyed posture and buttressed by wheezing clapped out carnival organ in the mode of Jo Therion from Etron Fou Leloublan.
