ROB JO STAR BAND (vinyl)

Description

Official re-release of one of the wildest psychedelic albums ever recorded in France in the early 70s. A tripped-out and unlikely blend of psychedelic music, crazy electronic arrangements, and distortion that makes their contemporaries sound like choirboys. Possessed and dangerous music, far removed from the progressive clichés of the genre. Indeed, the Montpellier-based ROB JO STAR BAND is all about rock and roll, and even proto-punk, as their music, through its violence and subversion, already foreshadows the advent of the punk movement. The ROB JO STAR BAND itself defined this experimental album as a kind of "Mass for the Present Time for Freaks and Junkies." Pierre Henri would appreciate the comparison... Re-released here for the first time, this album includes two unreleased tracks sung in French.
