Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage) Soundtrack

I really enjoyed the film that this soundtrack is from. The music in this psychedelic animation film was a far out concoction of funky jazz on a mystical trip. The film itself is very unique and worth finding. I went to the record store and traded in a generic boring garage revival record I wasted my time with planning to get Psychedelic jungle by the cramps. Seeing that someone had bought the Cramps album before I could I saw this album was in great shape so i got it. I have always enjoyed wah guitar which this album is full of and it is quite provoking but still comfortable to listen to when lazing around. Making this album was Alain Goraguer who was a french jazz pianist and played with Serge gainsbourg and other notable musicians. The among the instruments played are synthesizers, flute, Hohner clavinet, guitar (with lots of wah-wah effects), bass, and drums. There is somewhat of a theme throughout the album which would coincide with the movie plot which if you have seen would make the album is easier to grasp.I'm shocked that a soundtrack was pressed on vinyl for such an obscure film. The original pressing of this album is quite rare and expensive but the re-issue I have sounds great. The copy i own is pressed by the Pathe Marconi company in the Czech Repuplic

"I do not play no rock'n'roll" Missippi Fred Mcdowell

I heard a song on a compilation from a thrift store that turned me on to I do not play no rock'n'roll. The album was Capitol's artist who they where trying sell to the"long hairs" and "groovy folks" but with that being said there was some good songs(album name is "The New Spirit of Capitol"). One that stood out to me the most was Red Cross Store by Mississippi Fred Mcdowell. Red Cross Store is one of the best slide songs I have ever heard. The introduction is very black southern blues about how he learned to play blues which was great to hear. I went on the hunt for this album and lucked out in a junk shop months later when I found it mint for ten dollars. Fred McDowell has a intimate connection with his guitar and his singing is one with his slide. This is his first time playing electric from with a band and I think it compliments him very well. There seemed to be a lot of great performances by Fred on this album. I'm sure if you enjoy blues this will please you!
