1. Cumparsita - Andre Popp

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
For many years André Popp was best known for cowriting "Love Is Blue." But that claim to fame (if you can call it that) was only the tip of the iceberg for this most unclassifiable of composers. Popp was a sonic explorer who has been said to be France's answer to Juan Esquivel; but while both men did share a humor-filled vision of music, Popp was even more experimental in his manipulation of sounds. He could take as a starting point a tune by, say, Charles Trenet, record various parts at various speeds, interject sound effects (look for the sneeze), and it would still be a brilliantly accessible song--albeit one that would reveal its complexity only upon close listening. Long out of print, this 1957 recording remains a marvel of witty ingenuity. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars It's delirious........2005-07-13

This is a very strange album. It features a lot of imaginative sonic "experiments". Such as instruments recorded at half speed or double speed, and then played back at normal speed. Also vocals or instruments recorded backwards and then played forwards. It's all way ahead of it's time, and it should be of interest to anyone who likes unusual music.

5 out of 5 stars joy from a wacky frenchie.......2002-08-15

The contents of this disc will let you revel in the joys of your own insane music taste over and over again as you listen to the delirious confections of this little collection. And you'll split your gut when you hear the "gnignis sdrawkcab" (backwards singing) segment, or my name isn't itraM.
