Lard Free - French Avant-Garde Jazz
Japanese Edition Captain Trip Paper Sleeve Box Set
Four Titles

III Third
Catalog No.: CTCD-612
JAN: 4560107536124
■ A dynamic third album from 1977, where individual sound grains overlap many times, eventually creating a huge vortex.
The sound texture is closer to early German rock than French, with a chaotic and heavy sound unfolding.
■ Liner Notes: T. Mikawa (Hijokaidan, Incapacitants)
＜1977 Release＞

I'm Around About Midnight CTCD-611 5000
A second album from 1975 that expands further into space.
Richard Pinhas (Etron Fou Leloublan), another important figure in the French avant-garde rock scene, fully participates, and it's based on contemporary music akin to Terry Riley and Philip Glass.
＜1975 Release＞

Gilbert Artman's Lard Free

■ The commemorative first album released in 1973. Electric saxophones, spacey electronics, and freaky guitars merge with jazz-rock elements, creating a psychedelic, avant-garde, and experimental, visual sound.
■ Liner Notes: T. Mikawa
＜1973 Release＞

Unnamed CTCD-613 3000
■ The earliest Lard Free recordings, unearthed in 1997. Material recorded live in Paris in 1971 and 72, before the first album.
