I've said it before, it will be said trice: Mutant Sounds has to be about the best thing on the internet ever. Now, we 'audio bloggers' like to pet ours egos by believing that we're wasting time spreading 'new tunes' to 'the people', disseminating info into the infinite interweb. Then you have a group of fuckers like these guys who not only upload several so-obscure-it-was-probably-found-in-a-trashcan records and tapes a day, but they've got info and images to boot! Images and info!!! These dodeburgers have me pasted to my screen for hours on end, waiting out the RapidShare holding period in hopes of receiving God's Love (do click, that shit is still funny after a full round of college).
Anywho, this post is prompted by yet another bomb-ass record those dudes have been kind enough to pass along Cecil Leteur's (aka Roger Roger) moog mélange, Pop Electronique. They're missing two tracks, but I'm not complaining. At least I didn't have to pay the ∞ Euros to get a material copy of this one like Mr. Fourtet, who sampled this sucker heavily for his Madvillain remixes. In case your indexer is wary about doing the hyper thang, here's a nibble (sound of hand patting self on back).

Cecil Leteur-Pop Electronique No. 4
Well, as long as we're on the subject of good ol' Kieran, here's two slabs of post-rock from the upcoming rebirth of Fridge (The Sun LP is due in June, I think). One of my major musical moments came about 6 years ago during my first vist to the Record Collector in Ann Arbor while on an art history field trip with mom. I was just browsing through a bunch of names I didn't recognize, listening to an album (the brilliant Eph) that I thought was boring, when all of sudden ****SNAP****
...things changed. None of that magic in these tracks, but at least there's plenty of mallets!
