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." Artists: P.B. + 31/2, Chris Gallbert, Stella, La 4eme Volonte, Les Lunours, Jacques Denjean, Madeleine Chartrand, Bruno Leys, Bernard Chabert, Tony Roman, Le mal et l'esperance, Evolutions Phase 1, Ovila B.

Artist:	MASSIERA, JEAN-PIERRE
Title:	Psychoses: Freakoïd (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."

Title:	Psychoses Discoïd (1976-1981)
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
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!"

Artist:	HERMAN'S ROCKET
Title:	Space Woman
Label:	MUCHO GUSTO (CANADA)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MGLP 011LP

"Commissioned by Italian producer Mémé Ibach (Karen Cheryl), Herman's Rocket was created in 1977 by Jean-Pierre Massiera and his half brother Bernard Torelli. The goal was to surf on the space disco trend, using sci-fi themes and intergalactic grooves. 'For Herman's Rocket and Venus Gang, the tracks were composed with mixes of delirious voices and moogs. Musicians and singers improvised totally. Afterward I added 'theme' gimmicks and different mixes keeping it fresh and unplanned.' -- Massiera. Limited pressing of 1000 copies worldwide. Ultra rare tracks from the Massiera library of goodies. Massiera is the French Joe Meek. Includes Mp3 download card. No CD version."

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

Released on CD for the 1st time (2 bonus live cuts included)."

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!"
