Various Artists - "Stereo Ultra" (1998, Big Cheese Records)


Various Artists
(1998, Big Cheese Records)

Very good compilation including the best of 70's french composers:
Georges Garvarentz, Francis Lai, Alain Goraguer, Michel Magne, Georges Delerue,
Claude Bolling, Karl Heinz Schäffer, Charles Dumont, Bernard Gérard, Jean-Pierre Mirouze, The Golden Pot and... "Resonance", a.k.a. "Bacson", a.k.a. Pierre Bachelet !

Soundtracks from the following movies:
"Des vacances en or"
"Sapho"
"La leçon particulière"
"La planète sauvage"
"S.A.S. à San Salvador"
"L'homme de Rio"
"Un beau monstre"
"Qui ?"
"Le mariage collectif"
"Moi y en a vouloir des sous"
"Les gants blancs du diable"
"Trafic"
and the 7" by Resonance called "OK Chicago"
and the theme of the french radio broadcast "Campus"


I don't know the story behind what happened to this compilation, but facts are that many of its tracks have been released two years later on the "Shake Sauvage" compilation on the german label Crippled Dick Hot Wax... And both comps have so many tracks in common that it can't be a matter of chance only !!! Considering the amazing tracks from this comp that have not been used on the Crippled release, I suggest you should listen to this one first, and have an ear on the other one later...

Anyway, here is the original french 70's soundtracks compilation
for all of you to enjoy and shake like hell !

Various Artists - "Suprême Lounge" (2000, Play-Time)

Various Artists
(2000, Play-Time)
What we have here is a collection of french soundtracks from movies from the 60s/70s era, mainly comedies, and many of them reknowned for their kitsch artistry and old fasioned humor. The tracks chosen shift from jerk to bossa, and were most of the time musical backgrounds for party scenes.
Big french composers ahead ! Michel Magne, François de Roubaix, Vladimir Cosma, Philippe Sarde, Michel Legrand, Claude Bolling and many more...
