Artist:	MASSIERA, JEAN-PIERRE
Title:	Psychoses: Freakoīd (1963-1978)
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MGCD 006CD

"This is the story of Jean-Pierre Massiera, the mastermind behind The Maledictus Sound. Released in 1968, this album was his epiphany, produced with no artistic constraint or pressure to produce a hit. A man with a blurred artistic vision, he is an artist with not one plan, but many plans, whose career started with early '60s French beat groups spread through the '70s, '80s and up to the present, where he now works in various French studios. This is a work made of absurd blunts, delirious outtakes, outrageous A&R demands, rip-offs, some unashamed ('Daddy & Mama-boney M'), some obscure ('Napoleon XIV') and of course, brilliant fuck-ups. A career made of loops, woops, of hits and misses."

Catalog #:	MGCD 007CD

"This is the story of Jean-Pierre Massiera, the mastermind behind The Maledictus Sound. A man with a blurred artistic vision, he is an artist with not one plan, but many plans, whose career started with early '60s French beat groups spread through the '70s, '80s and up to the present, where he now works in various French studios. A career made of loops, woops, of hits and misses. 'Check out the low-brow vaudeville buffoonery, horror film kitsch, psychedelic organ vamps and high energy fuzz garage guitar all run back to back. Film noir soundtracks and bluesy jazz meet Zappa-esque rock absurdity and big band orchestrations around every corner.' --Ian Dazing, Exclaim!"
