Moving Gelatine Plates’ 1971 debut is a wild and nimble slice of French progressive rock that pulls from jazz fusion, Zappa-style mischief, and Canterbury whimsy without sounding exactly like any of them. The band is ferocious and technical, but the mood stays loose and playful—flute, fuzzed-out bass, and nimble drumming swirl through shifting rhythms and eccentric melodies. A wild and fantastically enjoyable album.
2015 French reissue from Replica Records/Musea.
