Jean-Pierre Massiera – Midnight Massiera: The B-Music Of Jean-Pierre Massiera

Eighteen sacred psychedelic suppositories from the laboratory of mad scientist and scalpel happy pop mutilator Jean-Pierre Massiera. Including the rarest and most sought-after fuzz funk, spooked surf and interplanetary prog from "The French Joe Meek" and all his schizoid split-personalities and freakish friends - The Maledictus Sound, Chico Magnetic Band, Visitors, Human Egg, The Pirhana Sound, and Jesus himself. If there was ever such an artist that perfectly encapsulated the Finders Keepers ethos then that character may well resemble the late and great Jean-Pierre Massiera. Inhabiting various small self-propelled studios in the South Of France surrounded by his various alter-egos, this master of outsider freak pop and phantastique psychedelia transcended multiple genres from spooked-surf through to cosmic disco in his lifelong career, all of which might go some way in explaining why this classic compendium known as 'Midnight Massiera: The B-Music Of Jean-Pierre Massiera' continues to be on the label's most requested re-releases.
