1974 - Placebo
[review] The third album is rather disappointing in its goal to achieve what the previous album had promised, even if it came out on the "progressive" label Harvest, was probably the album showing that Marc Moulin was getting too restricted in the formula he had set himself. The lenghty Stomp is a little too repetitive, but still a great moment, but it does have an end-of-era feel, while N.W., also rather lenghty is a real reflective moment, the brassy funky Dag Madam is great change of pace, the closing S.U.S. is again delving in Moulin's search for new electronic sounds (here almost a sonar), Plotseling being the main attraction the first side of the vinyl with its lenghty Rhodes lines (a little Ratledge- sounding here) while the winds induce a great added tension even if a drum solo comes in to ruin it a bit. Bosso is a Novo (I know;-) so typical of years to come. >>
