Kasai Allstars - Around Felicite (Original Soundtrack) - VINYL LP

In Peter Strickland's Flux Gourmet, a dysfunctional group of performance artists undertake a month-long residency at an institute devoted to culinary disciplines. Food is interrogated for it's sonic potential as the group mic-up, amplify, distort and transform what they cook in front of an audience. The noise that the characters in the film itself make is driven by food blenders, overflowing cauldrons of gurgling soup and sizzling frying pans (courtesy of The Sonic Catering Band), yet the music that soundtracks the culinary capers is engorged with aching melodies and wordless, airy vocals. Contributors include Cavern Of Anti-Matter, Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost of A Hawk And A Hacksaw and Trost's band, Roj (formerly of Broadcast), and Nurse With Wound. Flux Gourmet is presented in a rich 2xLP package with an ornate, colorful design and Strickland's detailed liner notes. Image, color, light and sound are integrated and heightened to delirious levels of hyperreality, much like Strickland's past works, Berberian Sound Studio and In Fabric. Flux Gourmet very much alludes to his past as a member of The Sonic Catering Band, which he founded back in 1996. The band split on several occasions and got back together to create new pieces for the soundtrack, concocting strange sonic morsels and treating recipes as if they were scores. The lines between what is on the screen and what is on the soundtrack are blurred, with the band (mostly) using the exact same equipment (which they loaned to the production) and recipes as in the film. However, for all the conceptual rigour on display, the music on the Flux Gourmet is ultimately in pursuit of catharsis, as one character concedes. The power of music and / or noise to purge and cleanse it's makers (and hopefully, listeners) of their ills and woes. Album Tracks 1. 1. Heather Trost - Early Gardens 2. 2. Roj - Trip to the Shop

'Felicite Thosz is the eleventh studio album by French band Magma, and was originally released on the 3th of July 2012. The album was Magma's first studio in 27 years to contain new material written after the band's reformation in 1996. 'Felicite Thosz' was written during 2001-02 by Christian Vander, but only played live by the band from 2009. 'Les hommes sont venus' was written and performed in 1992 by Les Voix de Magma, and again in 1995 for the band's 25th anniversary, then called 'Tous Ensemble'. Felicite Thosz is sung almost entirely in Magma's constructed language Kobaian, apart from a passage in French named 'Seule une fleur est venue au fond des bois en mon cœur (ame)'. Felicite Thosz is now available as a remastered LP in a 3mm sleeve and contains an insert. The record is cut at 45rpm for the ultimate audio experience. Album Tracks 1. Side A 2. 1. Ekmah 3. 2.
