Tricatel France Vinyl & CDs

Review: Bertrand Burgalat is a French singer and producer, and founder of the Tricatel label. His first album The Sssound of Mmmusic (also known as TSOM) receives an expanded reissue for Record Store Day 2021, 21 years after its first release. It features previously unreleased tracks for the first time on vinyl, as well as the trippy electronica of "Ile De Beton", the seductive acid lounge of 'Nonza', the blunted trip-hop of "Coeur Inapaise", "Gris Metal" (with a text by author Michel Houellebecq) and his cover of Mariah Carey's pop hit "Vision of Love".

Review: Cabaret Sauvage is one of the most unique venues in the world. Situated in Park de la Villette in north-central Paris, the circus-styled institution hosts live gigs and club events featuring celebrated artists from across the globe, and has been doing this since first opening in 1997. One evening, the Tricatel crew decided to take over the space for a showcase of live bands, hence us now being able to get hands on this soon-to-be collector's item. Paying tribute to what was an incredible night of incredibly varied music, the tracks list here represents all the artists who played at the date, and runs through a vast gamut of styles. The male-chorus and psyche pop rock of Leo Blomov, Chassol's neo-classical-opera-experimentations, the lo fi country-folk-swing of Ingrid Caven, and the bouncing synthdom of Bertrand Burgalat being a few highlights.
