Album Details

Each new album by Pascal Comelade is in itself a bit of an event. The man makes himself rare in France and is much more prolific in Catalonia, where he is considered to be an essential musician. In France, he is seldom mentioned in the media, and, in record shops, his music is often to be found in the film score section, with experimental music or even with world music. The last time he really got the attention of the critics was for his musical show Psicotic Music-Hall in 2002, a tribute to La Bodega Bohemia, a historical cabaret in Barcelona. Fortunately his new 'Best Of' album, 'The No Dancing' (Because Music) puts into perspective the importance of his works and demonstrates his many-sided musical vision, his multi-layered pocket symphonies, his bazaar of toy instruments and his playful ramblings, sometimes shared with big names in the world of the bizarre: P.J. Harvey (Love Too Soon) and Robert Wyatt (September Song) among others. A great way to brush-up on your Comelade culture. The 20 tracks on 'The No Dancing' were taken from the following Pascal Comelade albums: Danses et Chants de Syldavie - 1994 Musique pour Film - 1997 L'Argot Du Bruit - 1998 Psicotic Music'hall - 2002 Best Of (French version) - 2007 Metode de Rocanrol - 2007
