Paramahansa Yogananda's story is famous (he sold millions of copies of his autobiography) but it sure casts a light on how the music he recorded on this 1961 record came to be such a weird blend of Indian and US music: the use of delays (then only used in groundbreaking US pop songs, \u003cstrong\u003eLes Paul \u0026amp; Mary Ford\u003c\/strong\u003e's \u003cem\u003eHow High The Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eElvis\u003c\/strong\u003e' \u003cem\u003eBlue Moon Of Kentucky\u003c\/em\u003e), the percussions and the harmonium played by the yogi himself (who chants in English). It's hard not to see something programmatic in these arrangement choices, the metaphorical meeting of East and West that culminates on the only instrumental track on the LP, an arrangement of Russian classical composer Rimsky-Korsakov's \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSong of India\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the album is lead by Yogananda's voice, that has almost childish qualities; maybe partly due to the repetitiveness and simplicity of the lyrics (\"O God Beautiful, O God Beautiful\"). The result is quite psychedelic, but almost unintendedly, precisely because of the music's rusticity and naive jollyness.

Crepuscular acid folk produced by \u003cstrong\u003eLee Hazlewood\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was a time, not so long ago, when record shops would sell A) new music B) used records. The 2010's saw a big shift of interest from labels from new electronic music to reissues. There was a very simple economic reason behind this paradigm shift: it was less risky to invest time and money into reissuing music that has already proved its worth with an audience (that was willing to pay high prices on Discogs) than to engage with musicians whose music did not exist yet. A paradigm that is still dominating the market. This 2015 release hit the market during the heydays of the reissue craze and it got my boomer-self thinking, \"damn, at least they used to reissue good music at the time\"... You know very well that s\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/fr\/release\/11065289-NarChiveol-Esperance-Music-Wir\"\u003eome reissued LPs\u003c\/a\u003e followed the original copies in the dollar bins sonner than expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyway, 10 years after its release, this reissued \u003cem\u003eDreams and Images \u003c\/em\u003eis still an enchantment: a ghostly and fragile male voice floating over minimal and equally haunting arrangements of guitar and strings. Almost a dream of a record, this LP always stroke me as the quintessential example of the reissuing ethos: seeking records that were too delicate and to ideally leftfield to be enjoyed at the time of its release, to introduce them to its ideal audience that was not yet born when it first came out. It feels like watching \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Velvet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngel Heart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, one of these late 1980's films that encapsulates the spirit of a decade long gone: the mesmerizing violence and beauty of America's 1950's.

That's the case of Simon Jeffes' \u003cem\u003ePenguin Cafe Orchestra\u003c\/em\u003e. They emancipated themselves from psychedelic folk \u0026amp; rock (Jeffes worked with \u003cstrong\u003eCaravan\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026amp; \u003cstrong\u003eKevin Ayers\u003c\/strong\u003e before he founded the \u003cstrong\u003ePenguin Cafe Quartet\u003c\/strong\u003e) in a rather unexpected way in the late 1970's, assuming a classical music approach. Sheet music for a pop audience. Something that would become more common in the following decade, mainly due to the popular success of the PCO and composers like \u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music of PCO had a huge impact on a whole fringe of Japanese European-obsessed folk scene in the 1980's, with bands like \u003cstrong\u003eGontiti\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eWorld Standard \u003c\/strong\u003esharing their own vision of green meadows and hilly British landscapes (without surprise, one song from this album was written by Jeffes and \u003cstrong\u003eRyuichi\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSakamoto\u003c\/strong\u003e). And it has, I think, a very similar impact on my psyche, this weird impression of exoticism emanating from a music that evoked to me, on the contrary, the heart of Europa, and maybe more precisely, the familiar landscapes of Britanny, where I grew up.

Extremely rare, obviously.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music is exactly what you think it is: Breezy Xian folk sung in Japanese. So, I'll spend the time I usually spend writing about the music, writing about the story behind this historic oddity. You might have seen the not-so-great Martin Scorsese film about the persecution of Christian monks in Japan in the 17th Century, but you may not know that there are still over a million of Japanese citizens worshiping the Lord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can visit extremely \u003cstrong\u003eMyazaki\u003c\/strong\u003e-esque Trappist monasteries, like \u003cem\u003eOur Lady Of The Lighthouse\u003c\/em\u003e in Hokkaido, but what interest us today are the small secular Christian communities within urban centres, like the \u003cem\u003eIzumi Baptist Church\u003c\/em\u003e, founded in 1949 in Setagaya, Tokyo. \u003cstrong\u003eアムハアレツ\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAm ha'aretz\u003c\/em\u003e, \"\u003cem\u003ecommon people\u003c\/em\u003e\" in Hebrew), the band that released this record to help repay the construction of the church's Education Hall, was founded by believers of this Tokyo parish. From what I red on a blog, it seems the band still exists, and is invited to perform in other Japanese Baptist churches in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is quite pleasant to imagine this group of Japanese people, into Jesus Christ and Bob Dylan, writing and recording what they believed was canonically sounding Xian folk. And what makes this LP so special, is the feeling that it opened a window, not only on a certain space and time, but a very specific religious community in Japan, still active. No matter if you're not a believer yourself, you can't deny the fact that the aesthetics are pleasant. Special mention to the great artwork!

What Prefab Sprout and Cherry Red both illustrate, on the contrary, is the fact that there are some very contradictory streams within what seem like a clearly identified - sonically speaking - and coherent music decade, and that the major evolutions of mainstream music might emerge not only in reaction to the previous mainstream sound, but from a lineage that has always been there, but evolved far from the spotlights. In other words, the 1990's, or what we generally consider the sound of the 1990's was already on the airwaves in the 1980's. Now, your turn to prove me wrong (there's no comment section, sadly).

I grew up there, and traditional Brittany music used to be synonymous with annoying old people celebrating a culture I couldn't care less about (I was too busy having my mind blown by Sean Paul's \u003cem\u003eTemperature\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eDestination Calabria\u003c\/em\u003e). The first Brittany music shock I had as an adult was \u003cstrong\u003eKristen Nogues\u003c\/strong\u003e's \u003cem\u003eMarc'h Gouez\u003c\/em\u003e, one of the few records I couldn't part with when I sold my records collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, I happened to dig quite a lot in Brittany, as the French region was and still is my destination of choice for holidays. And here I am, now promoting this one-of-a-kind fusion bretonne music record. Have to say that the main appeal of this Barzaz LP is its unapologetic dance nature: many songs indeed are traditional dance tunes, the kind that would be played at \u003cem\u003efest noz\u003c\/em\u003e, (extremely) popular traditional dance festivals in Brittany. By the way, \u003cem\u003efest noz\u003c\/em\u003e are quite amazing to experience,  as hundreds of people, from all generations, dance together till late in the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo think a DJ who has never been to Brittany can now unironically play this kind of traditional \"dancing\" tunes at a party is both puzzling and heartwarming. Puzzling, because it further questions the idea of a global dance sound and its bounds with very specific and local cultures, and heartwarming because, as weird as it may sound to many ears, the groove of Barzaz's tunes cannot be ignored - probably thanks to its nagging fretless bass.
