La Confrerie des Fous, France


La Confrerie des Fous. 1978 Ballon Noir

La Confrerie des Fous' sole album is a fine example of the kind of electric progressive folk typically found on the high quality Ballon Noir label (especially Ripaille, Emmanuelle Parrenin (who is also a member here)). A very interesting album that really gains steam on Side 2. It can be still a bit too much silly fous/fou here, but when they get down to the music, it's quite good.

Hi Meidad! No, I have not seen that book prior. Great cover!

Thanks for all your comments. They're all published now. I'll respond to your individual questions on Hayat, Schickert, Nosferatu and Nemo.

Tom, This book is amazing in it's deep details about folk in France.

I highly recommend it though i am not a big fan of books about Music. The French scene is quite kept as a big secret and this is a good book to learn it.

Hi Parafuso,

As far as we know, a CD doesn't exist. That's the purpose of this blog - to call out albums that aren't on CD.

Thanks for the comment!
