Lard Free was essentially Gilbert Artman's project, so each album featured totally different lineups. This was the debut. It's a strange combination of noisy, jazzy prog rock and electronic music. The production quality isn't that great, it seems to have that home made quality, which I guess was intentional. You might notice a rather familiar bass line when you start playing this album! Yes the famous bass line you hear on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew! If King Crimson tried Bitches Brew, this is basically what you get! Lots of heavily distorted Fripp-like guitar and that bass line. Much of the rest is similar pattern, between tripped out synth-dominated electronic passages, and noisy, Crimson-like passages. I am particularly fond of " Livarot Respiration", really nice, mellow jazzy passage with sax and vibraphone. Musically, this is a bit like a more jazzy version of Heldon (in fact, their second album I'm Around About Midnight features none other than Richard Pinhas). I'm glad to discover Lard Free (I knew of them for years, but didn't buy any of their albums until 2013). While I feel their third album (frequently called III or Spirale Malax) is their best one, and the one to start if you're not familiar with Lard Free, this too is worth having.
