With their first album, legendary French art-rock band Wapassou found a distinctive musical voice: well-developed melodies, rhythmic organ, prominent droning violin, and guitar doubling-up as a rhythm instrument. They often conjure up what it might have sounded like had John Cale and Stereolab formed a band in 1974, the year this album was released. The five tracks are highly original, varied and inventive, steeped in post-psychedelic rock. Although Wapassou are noted for playing without a rhythm section, the two most striking songs include bass and drums. Why some enterprising dj hasn't created a chill mix from the drum track and provocative vocals on 'Chatiment' (guitarist Karen Nickerl murmuring about the cigarettes she has consumed and that she is a killer, 'Je suis l’assassin,' in the midst of the pulsing drone of the band), we don't know. The 13+ minute long 'Trip' is a revelation: for the first two minutes you will think you stumbled into the Cocteau Twin's 'Victorialand'; the band then jam for six and a half minutes before they drop one of the trippiest ethereal breakbeat grooves you'll ever hear; the last two minutes of solo sitar are sonic lysergia of the highest quality.
A remastered reissue of the first album by the legendary French mid-'70s art-rock band Wapassou. This work contains five spacey and ethereal tracks, with a post-psych vibe and featuring organ, violin and two guitars. For fans of a.o. Amon Düül, Popol Vuh, Czar, Caravan, and Ash Ra Tempel. Limited to 500 copies including a colorful insert has the detailed history of the making of the album, plus photos and other marvels. Remastered and sounding better than it ever has.
