chromatics or glass candy??

So this is a trick you can play your friends.Put this track on and tell them it's the new Chromatic's single.They'll definitely fall for this.Then tell them that this was produced by a French guy in 1981 under the name Captain Mustard.Under that name was hiding the mysterious electronic wizard Mr Frederic Mercier whose really hard to find LP's Pacific and Music From France are two of the definitive in early electronic music.Spirit is probably one of his best known tracks and a cosmic masterpiece in it's own right.Check Sci-Fi blogspot for a great re edit on Station 713 by Ajello.And if you are lucky enough and carry enough cash in your pockets you can be a proud owner of his records.
