A gloriously quirky compilation of instrumental grooves from French producer/composer Bernard Estardy. 16 essential tracks of library-funkpsych bangers and weird tripped out pop! A master of the mixing board, from the late ‘60s until the ‘90s Bernard Estardy was the wizard of French musical recordings. As head of CBE studios, he shaped everything from Gerard Manset’s concept albums to Claude Francois’ hit singles, Francoise Hardy’s delicate tear-jerkers and Michel Sardou’s soulstirrers. This “giant” had his hand in the whole range of mainstream French music by making his studio a veritable playground for experimentation. His legendary album “La Formule du Baron,” released in 1969, and the eight LPs of production music he made between 1974 and 1978 for Tele Music are vivid proof.
