Streaking

Digitally remastered edition of this 1974 release, one of European rare groove's holy grails. The year is 1974, Jean-Claude Pelletier has seen the light: thanks to a trip to the States he's bowled over by the power of Funk and realizes that nothing will ever be the same again. From now on he must electrify his jazz and dive into the great big multi-colored acid bath in order to give his music a new pop dimension. On listening to Streaking!, we see he has kept his promise be-yond what we could ever have imagined. The production is what impresses us first, rounded and piping hot, rivaling the best American sessions with no shame. Next comes this infernal, psychotropic groove which doesn't let up on the 11 instrumentals for one minute, launching like running machines.
