Dynastie Crisis - Faust 72

Jacky Chalard was the bassist in this French pop group that formed in 1968. The group also consisted of Jacques Mercier, former member of bands Les Jelly Roll and Les Turnips and who was supposedly credited for several other hard-to-find projects around the same period . On this release, "Faust 72" is one of the best French songs you'll hear. It's not all great though, songs such as "Vivre Libre" sound typical Eurovision fare, while pop prog is turned up several levels too high for me on "Samourai"."Le Fantome" is a carnivalesque romp interspersed with sardonic laughter and is a particular favourite. Other highlights include the tight and laid-back grooves respectively of "Le Monde eclate " and "Quartre Heures De L'apres-midi", before the later track launches into a maniacal thrashing of all instruments. Enjoy.
