"Three-Dimensional Syntax..."

Smoking is cool...

Snarkingly and slowly sorting out the two new Jean-Claude Vannier releases from Finders Keepers Records... Electro Rapide is a compilation of rare or previously unreleased instrumental tracks. To keep us on our toes, they've also put out an LP by JCV of all new songs (with vocals), called Roses Rouge Sang, but since these tunes are in his signature 70s style, I thought the tracks were from back then too. But they're not. They're new. Sorry for the confusion.
(This week's selection is from Electro Rapide. Last week I chose a song from Roses Rouge Sang.)
No wonder Finders Keepers and in-the-know Europeans are all crazy for Jean-Claude Vannier's music. It's interesting and surprising, and definitely cool.
