LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

180 gram audiophile vinyl

Marc Moulin (1942 - 2008) was a Belgian musician and journalist. In the early Seventies he was the leader of the Jazz-Rock group Placebo. Moulin was one of Belgium's jazz legends, making jazz-influenced records for over 30 years. Marc Moulin's three Placebo albums are the 'Holy Grail' for the rare groove crowd, a sector of music fans who love that unique 70s style of cool.

Their eponymous third album is glossy, elaborate Benelux Jazz-Rock which could be labeled Library music as well - having themes that could easily accompany a cult 70's detective series. Its seductive rhythms, combined with tasteful arrangements, make this LP difficult to walk away from.

Original copies of Placebo are in short supply and overwhelming demand, making this first ever official reissue a much needed one! Sampled by Pete Rock & Madlib.
