Albert Marcœur ‎– Album À Colorier (1976, CD, France)

This was the fantastic 2nd album by Albert, which, like his first, was originally released on French Atlantic. A brilliant musician, composer and arranger, the closest comparison one can make is that Albert is the French Frank Zappa, except that that doesn't really do Albert or his original music justice.Coming just two years after his first (the shortest time between albums Albert has ever managed - he works carefully and SLOWLY), this might have been slightly overlooked by folks. Don't make that same mistake now; this is a stupendous album with great melodies, musical surprises galore, brilliant orchestration and much more. He had a big budget and big ideas on this outing, and this comes highly recommended. (wayside)
