This is the 2nd version of this album (previous edition on the French Night & Day label), with new/unique cover artwork and 2 bonus track. "The debut release from Delay 68 distant cousin label Finders Keepers Records, we present the seminal 1972 album from Serge Gainsbourg's right-hand man Jean-Claude Vannier. Recorded during the same sessions as Gainsbourg's highly acclaimed masterpiece
Histoire De Melody Nelson
it follows in a similar avant-garde rock-opera vein.
L'Enfant Assasin Des Mouches
(The Child Fly Killer) is a supernatural tale written by Gainsbourg depicting the journey of the young child travelling through a nightmarish 'Fly Kingdom.' Vannier narrates the story with sparse music concrete sounds coupled with choirs, funky beats, cowbells, wah-wah guitars and ethnic strings. Comparisons could be made with some of Frank Zappa's
Hot Rats
material and Alain Goraguer's creepy
Le Planet Sauvge
. At the time this was released as a promo-only in ridiculously small numbers (around 100) and is regarded as the Holy Grail among French psych and prog collectors. Also included on the CD are the obscure funk instrumentals taken from equally rare 7" issued to accompany the TV drama series
Point D'Interrogation
." Stickered w/ over-the-top hype from Jarvis Cocker (Pulp), Jim O'Rourke, Tim Gane (Stereolab) and David Holmes!
