CHOU PAHROT-LIVE, LP, 1979, UK (SCOTLAND)



A faux live album from an outfit who were anything but, Scotland's Chou Pahrot and it's pseudonym-bedecked operatives (M. Zarb, Eggy Beard, The Amphibian & Mama Voot, from left to right) are in fact a complete blast. Sure, the tweedy/beardy thing makes them look like they just wandered in from the photo shoot for Jethro Tull's Heavy Horses and that follows through to a degree in their sound, which also touches on Gentle Giant at their most straight ahead rockin', but there's another unmistakable odor wafting off this besides ale and weed and it's the unmistakably pungent scent of those who worship the Camembert Electrique; with several of the tracks here being riddled with the tell-tale impish sax curlicues and smirky pothead pixie space rock logic of Gong.
