... AND THEIR PLACE IN THE SOLAR HI-FI SYSTEM by Misty's Big Adventure (2004)
C'est à Birmingham en 2004 que nait le premier album d'une série de sans-fautes imaginé par une troupe de 7 musiciens et un danseur menée par le dénommé Grandmaster Gareth. Produit par Richard March (Bentley Rhythm Ace) et Matthew Eaton (Pram), Misty's Big Adventure and Their Place in the Solar Hi-Fi System est un départ en fanfare mélangeant les influences de manière explosive, de l'élégante fantaisie de Kevin Ayers à l'énergie dansante de Madness.
Humour, dérision et une dose de désillusion bariolent les pistes enivrantes du disque riches en surprises et bizarreries : dictée magique, balle de ping-pong (?) et sons indescriptibles donnent à des chansons comme Biscuit Tin ou Circles, Squares and I Blame The Parents leur touche unique.
Misty's Big Adventure and Their Place in the Solar Hi-Fi System est l'un des trésors bien trop cachés de la pop avec ce qu'il faut de vandalisme.
It's in Birmingham in 2004 that borns the first album of a flawless serie imagined by a troupe of 7 musicians and a dancer lead by the named Grandmaster Gareth. Produced by Richard March (Bentley Rhythm Ace) and Matthew Eaton (Pram), Misty's Big Adventure and Their Place in the Solar Hi-Fi System is a start with great fanfare mixing in an exploding way the elegant fantasy of Kevin Ayers and the energy of Madness.
Humour, derision and a dose of disillusionment daub with bright colours the heady tracks full of surprises and oddities: speak & spell, ping-pong ball (?) and indescribable sounds give songs like Biscuit Tin or Circles, Squares and I Blame The Parents their unique touch.
Misty's Big Adventure and Their Place in the Solar Hi-Fi System is one of the overly hidden treasures of pop music with what's needed of vandalism.

SAY IT IN SLANG by M Coast (2006)
Après plusieurs albums accompagné du fidèle Derek Almstead, Andrew Gonzales contracte Marshmallow Coast en M Coast pour mieux s'étirer, les deux compères se partagent à parts à peu près égales les compositions, c'est l'album le plus "groupe" du projet personnel d'Andrew Gonzales et le mieux produit. Say It In Slang brille par ses compositions lumineuses et ses arrangements savoureux alternant harmonieusement le chant entre les deux premiers cités et Emily Growden.
Gonzales et Almstead sont deux musiciens exceptionnels du collectif Elephant 6 ayant notamment posé leurs pattes dans quelques uns des meilleurs albums d'Of Montreal, les guitares du premier et la basse du second forment un couple parfait et un antidépresseur immédiat. Une sorte de Belle & Sebastian sans carence de vitamine D.
One Fine Day, Aurora, Ideas And Integrities (et son final remuant)... démontrent toute l'efficacité de cette bande d'amis Cools (avec un C majuscule).
After many albums with the loyal Derek Almstead, Andrew Gonzales contacts Marshmallow Coast to M Coast only to expend better, the two partners share the compositions in almost equal parts, it's the most 'band' album of Andrew Gonzales' personal project and the most produced. Say It In Slang delivers shiny compositions and tasty arrangements alternating singing parts harmoniously between the two mentioned before and Emily Growden.
Gonzales and Almstead are two exceptional musicians of the Elephant 6 collective, they put their paws on some of Of Montreal best albums, the guitars from the first and the bass lines from the second make a perfect couple and an immediate antidepressant. A kind of Belle & Sebastian without the lack of vitamine D.
One Fine Day, Aurora, Ideas And Integrities (and its lively ending)... demonstrate all the efficiency of this band of Cool (with a capital C) friends.

Pop Classics est une sélection de disques qui m'ont marqués et n'ont
jamais vieilli. Il n'est pas question ici de grands noms, quoiqu'ils le
soient pour moi, mais de grands albums sortis à l'écart des projecteurs.

Pop Classics is a selection of records that marked me and never got
old. It's not about great names, even if they are for me, but great
albums released away from the projectors.
