Acid Washed is the Paris-based duo of Richard D'Alpert and Andrew Claristidge. Their first commercial release on Record Makers paid homage to the hard edged electronics coming out of Chicago and Detroit in the early 80s, and poignantly recontextualized the source of their aesthetic diaspora. I asked them to focus a little more on the retro for this Substitute Teachers , and they found a way to weave the godfathers electronic composition into a darker collection of classics. Substitute Teachers: Acid [...]

Alain Goraguer first made a name for himself as a sideman and arranger for Serge Gainsbourg, including the arrangement for Gainsbourg's 1966 Eurovision grand prize winning song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son". In 1972 he scored the bizarre and moving French language animated feature "Le Planet Sauvage," released in the States as "Fantastic Planet." The soundtrack blends funky psyched out jazz with gorgeous woodwind, choral, and string arrangements. There's also a few subtle appearances by the theremin .

Yeah, right. CNN's pathetic excuse for a website has its own dating coach. Oh, wait. Nevermind. They don't. They just re-posted something written by Ami Angelowicz at The Frisky. That makes more sense. Unfortunately, what doesn't make sense is the article, which is called " Dating coach's 8 top tips ." These are horrible tips, and they are dead-wrong right from the very first sentence: "Matchmaker and dating coach Rachel Greenwald is responsible for 750 marriages, and she doesn't believe you will find the love of your life by waiting for him/her to spontaneously appear in line at the [...]

Highlighting Magali Noël , we also have to talk about her exceptionally seductive Strip Rock, another 50s superbabe wet dream that surely influenced young Serge G., finally resulting in Strip-tease, a showcase tune for Juliette Greco as well as for Nico – the first recording of La Prémiere Belle Dame Sans Merci in 1963, a few years before she went down to the narco underground. And even Magali's and Serge's early partner in crime, the highly distinguished Alain Goraguer, returned to the fine art of undressing with his spheric soundtrack for the science-fiction animation movie Planet Sauvage in [...]

i dont know much about any of the below, but its a pretty righteous collection of 70's funk, jazz, groove and all around weirdness that only the 70's could have produced. some of the stuff actually sounds pretty timely, while some other stuff would make awesome personal theme music for either sweet loving making or just walking down the street. 1. ritual - nico gomez 2. je m'appelle geraldine - jean-claude vannier 3. pcyhedelic mood - piero piccioni 4. t plays it cool - [...]

Its Earth Jim, but not as we know it. 'Fantastic Planet' (to give it it's English title) is one of those mental films that you might catch as a kid because its an animation but it goes straight over... [[ This is a content summary only.
