Description
From the FdM website :-
A series of instrumental albums from Fruits de Mer. If you enjoyed 'Roqueting Through Space' and 'Head Music', I think you'll like these - and if you didn't buy those, but love Neu!, Klaus Schulze, 70s Tangerine Dream, the Brain and Ohr labels, extended prog rock tracks, acid-james, side-long ambient pieces, electric/acoustic guitar + electronics tracks.
Putting 'Head' and 'Roqueting' together, getting your comments on them and my abiding love for rmusic on the Brain and Ohr labels, were all the incentives i needed to start work on this project, which - as is often the case with Fruits de Mer - began as a simple idea (this time for a 'krautrock' flavoured LP) then got a life of its own, and dragged me along with it. The scope gradually widened as tracks came in that didn't necessarily fit my original krautrock/kosmiche intentions but were just too bloody good to ignore, so influences now range from krautrock/kosmische to motorik beats, classic and new progressive rock, drone, sequencer/synthesiser, psychedelia, and more. Tracks range from 2 minute minimalist pieces to side-long epics - is there really any logic to grouping them together? Probably not, but it's too late now.
STRANGE FISH 1 - an LP of one-artist-per-side floating ambient/synth/sequencer/guitar sounds STRANGE FISH 2 - a double LP compilation of krautrock/progressive rock influenced/guitar-led tracks STRANGE FISH 3 - a double LP compilation of kosmische/motorik/sequencer/Neu!/Schultze-influenced tracks STRANGE FISH 4 - an LP compilation of acoustic guitar+electronics/synth/'modern ambient' tracks STRANGE FISH 5 - a bonus CD compilation of strange fish music exclusively for buyers of the complete vinyl set
************ PLUS ********** A Fruits de Mer/Soft Hearted Scientists promo 7" A promo single - very limited, and not for sale, but it will find its way into the hands of contributing artists, early buyers of the strange fish series of albums and a few Fruits de Mer supporters (reviewers and DJs), containing: ‘Euclid Dreaming’ by James McKeown, from the strange fish series (a 4 minute-ish edit – now the label says it’s from ‘strange fish two’, it’s actually on ‘strange fish four’, but these things happen) ‘Song 4’ (later renamed ‘Tarazed’) by Julie’s Haircut, again taken from the strange fish series (another 4 minute-ish edit – label says ‘four’, in fact it’s on ‘two’ – confused yet?) ‘Halloween People’ by Soft Hearted Scientists, from False Lights (now here’s a novelty, it really IS on False Lights)
LPs Condition M Sleeve Condition M Outer Slip Case EX (Note - Slip case is flimsy and i guess most will have the odd bend or two)
