LA MAISON DU JARDINIER - s/t (1980, LP, Belgium)

La Maison du Jardinier was the project of Belgian pianist Jean-Luc Saucin, who wrote all compositions and arrangements on their unique, self-titled LP. The band included jazz and folk musicians from various horizons as well as underground activists Alain Neffe and Ernest Hembersin (Cortex, Bene Gesserit, Human Flesh). The style is comparable to other avantgarde Belgian jazz à la Univers Zéro or Julverne, that is: playful, pastoral jazz with elaborated arrangements, great melodies and top-notch interprets, not unlike some of the best Willem Breuker’s Kollektief records of the 1970s. The use of vintage synthesizer adds a unique touch, sometimes close to psych-rock or kosmische musik. It seems Alain Neffe contributed to the last track only, imitating wind on synthesizer and “sea-gull squawks” on vocoder – the latter effort did not make it to the final mix, though. La Maison du Jardinier’s LP was produced by Daniel Sotiaux, Igloo’s regular sound engineer at their inception. In fact, Igloo Records was the merging of two Brüssels, Belgium, independent labels from the 1970s. Launched in 1978 by Sotiaux, Igloo first published sound poetry and avantgarde composers like John Van Rymenant and Jacques Bekaert. Then around 1980, Igloo incorporated the activities of a jazz label called LDH and Daniel Léon became the manager. Note the mention on the record’s label: ‘I declare this record free from any copyright. Public performance, broadcasting and copying allowed when source mentioned’. Thanks to Alain Neffe for first hand information.(Continuo's)

Thank you a lot for the link.
But one question. Why do you host the files in the so complicated place to download? Why not one like Mega?

centraldoprog said...

Thanks Crimson, what are the problems?

CrimsonKing said...

I think the problems are many pop-ups are opened and several attempts are made to get you started with .EXE file downloads.

I have many many files uploaded to U4E, so, let's find a good download solution ... maybe I'll make a dedicated page.

I understand you.
I was paid Rapidshare user and had hundreds of files hosted there for my blogs. Then the RS ceased to work and I had to choose another host.
After researching a lot, I chose MEGA. In it I have all my Folk Yourself blog in several FREE accounts of 50 GB each. It works great and is fast to download.
