Artist:	PELOQUIN/SAUVAGEAU
Title:	Laisse-nous vous embresser où vous avez mal
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MGCD 004

"Reissue of the classic 1972 Quebec masterpiece. Includes 'Monsieur L'Indien' and 'Mama Vagina'. When it was originally released, this record was 30 years ahead of its time. Now we're in 2004 and it's time has arrived. Launched in 1972, Laissez-nous vous embrasser ou ça fait mal is one of the most original records ever made in Quebec. Though avant-garde, it still managed to garner radio support and wide public attention thanks to the trance-like track 'Monsieur L'Indien'. The 'Us' in Let us kiss you where it hurts is Claude Peloquin, controversial poet, And Jean Sauvageau, a Quebec electronic music pioneer. Together after memorable trips and artistic happenings throughout the 60's, they came up with this eccentric avant-garde masterpiece. With topics ranging from revolution ('Monsieur Emiliano'), to exploitation ('Monsieur L'Indien'), vasectomy ('Sterilization') or even scatology ('Mama Vagina'), the record exploded onto the local scene during the dark ages of Quebec Pop Music (something very similar to what's happening now). Claude Peloquin, the vocalist, can be heard laughing, screaming, babbling into the mike as he 'cracks open a brew' overtop a cocktail of explosive and highly original electronic music. A wall of sound shifting from synthetic psychedelic ambience, doped out choir to fucked up western. Techno spoken word? Electroclash? Experimental Rock? Pretty far from the hippie stuff you'd expect for the times."

Artist:	BELANGER, SATAN
Title:	Freak Out Total
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MGCD 005

"You want some Freak Out? Just play this record. Compiled by the one and only Satan Bélanger, this is a release to be smoked. Quebec's underground guru, member of Les Biberons Bâtis who put out two cult albums, Satan Bélanger is the king of 'collector' records. The 15 tracks you'll find here have been picked during the last decade (and more) in Kebek's best garage sales and flea markets. There's Quebecois kazoo, French psych, Belgian acid-fries. There's fuzz, screams and heavy cosmic trips. There's beautiful weirdos and very bizarre stuff. All these songs were recorded between 1968 and 1973. Too 'original' for that era, they were soon forgotten. 'Ani-kuni', a psych-pop version of a traditional native mantra, would be the only exception being the summer hit of 1973 in Quebec. You'll find it twice here with a version taken from the vinyl single and one from the original masters. After releasing L'infonie vol. 3 & 333, Péloquin-Sauvageau and Les Maledictus Sound, Mucho Gusto records are proud to present Freak Out Total, another reissue coming out of nowhere."

Artist:	MASSIERA, JEAN-PIERRE
Title:	Psychoses Freakoid (1963-1978)
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MGLP 008LP

"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. 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."

Artist:	LES MALEDICTUS SOUND
Title:	Les Maledictus Sound
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TG 024CD

"(Originally released in 1968) this is one of the most bizarre records ever released and one of the most sought after titles on the collectors' market. The Maledictus Sound are to instrumental rock what Frankenstein was to science... a laboratory monster... a strange creature assembled from a mish-mash of diverse musical sounds. Psychedelic pop, romantic ballads, musical tongue-in-cheek, drugged out chipmunks, near-delirium sound effects, horror movie screamadelia and a mega-twisted '60s vibe. Eclectic, epileptic. For Jello Biafra this is 'some of the most screaming exotica-psych I've ever heard in my life'. Featuring a bonus track."

Artist:	L'INFONIE
Title:	L'Infonie (Volume 3)
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TG 027CD

"Loose collective regrouped up to 33 artists from various backgrounds ranging from free jazz, classical, contemporary, rock, visual arts and poetry in one avant-garde adventure still unsurpassed in Quebec. Formed in Montreal in 1967, L'Infonie (lead by composer Walter Boudreau and poet, singer, trumpeter Raoul Duguay) existed officially until 1974. 7 years of pure mayhem that gave birth to 'Volume 3' and 3 more releases ('Volume 33', 'Volume 333' and 'Volume 3333'). Released on CD for the 1st time (2 bonus live cuts included)."

Artist:	L'INFONIE
Title:	Volume 333
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	TG 029CD

"Volume 333 is the third album by the Montreal collective L'Infonie, and it is considered by many to be their masterpiece. Released in 1972, this surprising, hard to categorize album is a mix of experimental groove, psychedelic jazz-rock and.... classical music, that will appeal to Zappa fans, but also to chamber music audiophiles. An extraordinary listening adventure and a monument of undeground Kébécois rock! Formed in Montreal in 1967, L'Infonie existed officially until 1974. Seven years of pure mayhem that gave birth to four vinyls (Volume 3, Volume 33, Volume 333and Volume 3333) as well as various multidisciplinary shows built as way-out happenings with costumes etc...Stunningly remastered two-disc re-release of their classic third album from 1972, Montreal's L'Infonie proves that they were at the forefront of musique concrete and easily above all others that have tried to harness this form of controlled chaos. With their daring and unconventional use of electronics, basses, horns and guitars, a bizarre animated religious storybook fantasy world of madness is created, one where there is no particular story, just an open-ended and humorous comedic soundscape... Volume 333 is experimental decadence at its finest."

Artist:	LES BIBERONS BÂTIS
Title:	Ok! C'est Correct!
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TG 030CD

"Satan Bélanger, the return? In 1993 the first assault of Les Biberons Bâtis, Attaboy On Meurt (an anthology of cassettes, released in 1984-85) had corrupted our ears in a beautiful way. Now, here's Ok C'est Correct, the second album of this group which is actually a solo act. Bruno Tanguay, the brain and the Satan Bélanger of Les Biberons Bâtis, presents us here his last grand cru. More machines, less humans, an uncommon experience on layers of plump dub sounds and psychedelic elasticity. Armed with synths, a clavinet, guitars and a vocoder, the Biberons Bâtis give birth to an disc well anchored in his roots but with an eye to the future, guaranteed to keep the cult of Satan Bélanger alive. About Satan, Bélanger that is, he doesn't sing any more, he speaks a little, but profoundly spazzes the knobs, enough to stun your hip neurones. Orgasms and discomfort assured!"
