Aksak Maboul - Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine
According to Wikipedia, Aksak is a Turkish word meaning walking with a limp. Heavy, dude.
This is an album put out by a Belgain band in the late 1970s. Don't be afraid, though, because they don't sound Belch at all.
No, they sound French. Which is similar, but different. French, in the sense that it sounds half way in between synth music, and romantic dinner music, with maybe some carnival stuff in there to make it a little weird.
This is really about as close as I've heard to someone catching the happy up-tempo Autobahn rock of Kraftwerk. Still, it's got enough of the non-synth sing-songy stuff to temper the Kraftwerk influence.
Ah, hell, I don't know. I've had a coupla Belgian beers, and I think you all would like a Belgian record. So dig it.
Another NWW list favorite.

Just listened to it. Totally mind-melting.

Would love it if you could reup Luc Ferrari, Der Plan and The Sounds of American Doomsday Cults. Been itching to hear those for some time. Many Thanks!
Thanks! I've been feeling a bit starved of Aksak Maboul of late, and finding this was great.
