un seul album mais une legende des années 70 . Le summum musical . Mes souvenirs d'adolescence . Sous l'odeur et les volutes de l'époque ... Magnifique rif et montée en puissance .
Dashiell Hedayat 1947-2013 [posted Thr 18 Jul] Writer, musician, singer Jack-Alain Léger, also known as Dashiell Hedayat (one of his several nom de guerre), died yesterday, 17th July. We note and honour his passing here due to the wonderfully, psychedelic 'Obsolete', album he recorded (all within a single day) with the Camembert Electric Gong band of daevid allen, Gilli Smyth, Pip Pyle, Didier Malherbe and Christian Tritsch, and which was released in 1971.
The album became was a bit of a holy grail amongst early Gong devotees being quite hard to track down. However it was very worth it when you did eventually find an import copy - I speak as a UK Gongster - and realised that Obsolete was part of a sort of unofficial 'trilogy' of albums recorded by that great Gong band over a really short period of time along with the Continental Circus soundtrack and the masterpiece of Camembert Electrique itself.
There was small note printed below the credits on the back cover of Obsolete which read, “Warning: This record must be played as loud as possible, must be heard as stoned as impossible and thank you everybody” - as good a way as any to celebrate the man. Thank you Jack-Alain and sympathies to those he leaves behind.
cher dashiell je vais te raconter une anecdote : j'ai rencontré allen ginsberg dans une pissotiere à Toulouse et lui ai fais quelques remarques sur le fait que l'université francaise cherchait à le récupérer et le rendre plus plus présentable (g georges lemaire mikriamos etc) il m'a regardé d'un oeil surpris et a botté en touche , apres tout cette reconnaissance à l'époque était bien venue pour lui ; apres avoir pissés de conserve je l'ai quitté en lui disant : "don't let them cut your balls !" arnaud bouchet, amicalement
c vrai q ce n'est pas le genre de musique que l'on fredonne ni musique sur laquelle on se tremousse mais il faut juste ecouter def c mieux ms ss cela le fait Moi ça me rapelle mes17ans l'acide les champ le reine dipe
