In this legendary album recorded back in 1977, MARC HOLLANDER and VINCENT KENIS playfully deconstruct and fuse many different genres to create a unique musical vision. With its elements of jazz, electronics, fake African, Balkan & minimal music, this album can retrospectively be viewed as a blueprint for most of the directions explored by Crammed to this day. "One of the most beautiful records ever produced... Aksak Maboul brought together every musical material which Europe had to offer, resulting in a perfect, fresh and unusual masterpiece" (Tip, Germany, "82). "A sum of musical and cultural references which knows no border between countries and civilizations... a spirit inherited from Dadaism and Surrealism" (Stéréoplay, France, "81). "One of the jewels in the crown of new European music... Intimist and mischievous, bouncy and velvety, brimming with inventiveness" (Le Monde de la Musique, France, "78)
