Onze danses pour combattre la migraine

by Aksak Maboul

supported by

plasticseahorse From medieval synth twee pop, primitive techno sketches, European chamber music through to African beats and Frenchie jazz, there’s really never a dull moment on this record. One of a kind. Favorite track: Milano Per Caso.

Robert Bloemkolk Classic. Between the cracks of new wave glitz and obscure soundtracks. French composer Pascal Comelade springs to mind as a companion traveller. But Aksak Maboul are really unique. Favorite track: Glympz.

about

In the spring of 1977, two young Belgian musicians who call themselves Aksak Maboul (aka Marc Hollander & Vincent Kenis) set out to record an album, "Onze danses pour combattre la migraine", in which they playfully fused and deconstructed all kinds of genres to create their own musical world. Three years later, Hollander founded the Crammed label. Many ingredients came in and out of the Aksak blender : fake jazz, electronics, imaginary African & Balkan music, minimalism... there were even pre-techno aspects such in as Saure Gurke and its characteristic keyboard stab pattern which will mysteriously find its way into many classic Detroit techno tracks some ten years later. Onze Danses became a cult album, and seems retrospectively to have mapped out the way for the various directions which have been explored by Crammed during the next two decades.

about

Aksak Maboul Brussels, Belgium

The seminal, shapeshifting band came back to life after a 30-year gap, and now revolves around founder (& Crammed Discs boss) Marc Hollander & Véronique Vincent who, with a new line-up, have recorded and released an acclaimed brand-new double LP: 'Figures' (2020). AM was founded in 1977 by Hollander with Vincent Kenis, and the band’s first 2 LPs are avant-garde classics. ... more

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900
