Once again, a brilliant representative of the French musical scenes of the Eighties ! Starting where HENRY COW or ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN had left, HELLEBORE use this unique album to present their music made of audacious counterpoints, large and mastered instrumentations (bass, crumar, saxophones, guitar, percussion, pianos, organs) and of a voice that sings pataphysical themes that sound like masterpieces of a Monthy Python’s kind of nonsense! Previously under AYAA, Gazul keeps on re-issuing the bands included on this fabulous and regretted label that had given the opportunity to discover a large number of those original talents of international New Musics. Hellebore’s experiences are to be classified in the Rock In Opposition style and the experiments of those musical inventors that remind of Chris CUTLER, Fred FRITH and other LOOK DE BOOK, impress the listener due to their density, their complexity, but also thanks to their ingenuous and not too serious side. A real freshness !
