MAHOGANY BRAIN / Some Cocktail Suggestions / LP
French
underground legends Michel Bulteau and Patrick Geoffrois unleash the
gods’ stash of avant wisdom on the unknowing masses. Slightly
deconstructed delicacies, fender flange at lightspeed and HIGH-end
audio art is what these artists deal in. Bulteau throws down some
inspired Burroughsian vocal stylings nested in nebulous and nefarious
experimental sound sculptures. This is the 3rd lp from the group in
2005 following two releases in the early 70’s.

Reviewed by Outlier. ARTHUR Magazine « Bull Tongue » - Novembre 2005 - (USA) Just when you thought it was safe to eat croissants, France’s
legendary free-rock band Mahogany Brain returns in not just name, but
also in fucked-up function. Their first LP in 30 years (or so) is called Some
Cocktail Suggestions (Fractal) and it has much superior weirdness
to recommend it. Indeed, it is actually better than their last LP, Smooth
Sick Lights, which is kinda hard to believe. There’s a buncha
cracked-open amp-splonge guitar, electronic lip-puckers, backwards masking,
treated vocals, Burroughs samples and all kindsa other, very fetching
stuff going on here. Whether it’s a studio creation or the work
of an actual band is immaterial. It’s a nice formstretcher regardless. |
