"ENFILONY - LA SYMPHONIE PUNK" 1978 SUN-OWL PRODUCTIONS LP (STILL
SEALED ORIGINAL CANADIAN PRESSING WITH UNBELIEVABLE SCRATCH AND SNIFF
COVER! (THE FRONT COVER ACTUALLY JUST STATES 'SMELLS' )) - ENFILONY IS
AN ACRONYM FOR ENVIRONMENT, FILM AND SYMPHONY. - THIS IS VIOLENT AND
DRAMATIC MUSIC REMINISCENT OF BOTH STRAVINSKY AND BERNARD HERMANN -

Bowie smokes and plays keyboards, Iggy Pop oozes sex. Funtime!

Mr Bowie pays tribute to Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk. From "Heroes":

hey MB, this one in your collection

Ackcherly, no... merci bien pour ca. Though I am a big fan....

Her vinyl originals are tres collectable, but hard to find in good condition over here. Et j'aime bien aussi Serge Gainsbourg, Juliette Greco, Jean Claude Vannier, Michel LeGrand....

Nothing Francophone here, but Mr. Bowie's latest which references one of my favourite periods in his music, the Berlin Trilogy. Very informative interview with Tony Visconti in the NME (Bowie graced the cover) about the new album. Queen were on the cover of this month's Record Collector too, so it was like being at school in the mid-Seventies all over again.

'Where Are We Now ?' :

Such a limited bot you are.
