JEAN EMMANUEL DELUXE – ROUEN DREAMS FRENCH ART POP TREATMENTS 2018 LION SLD LP

As a whole, think of this as an aural canvas of what pop culture can be (think connotation not denotation). My overall musical impressions include, but not limited to: cinematic, a sometimes cabaret atmosphere, library music, kaleidoscopic pop melodies and humor (for thinking people); The quirkiness of Soft Machine’s first two albums come to mind. And while digging up details on this album I found a reply from Robert Wyatt who had been sent an advance recording of this album and responded thusly:

“Await vinyl with much anticipation, meanwhile, the things you have sent via this machine are, to be succinct, MARVELLOUS , even the routes through the various virtual doors and curtains to find them are consistent with your love of the obscure!”—Robert Wyatt
