Moulin Rouge

 

Placebo - 1973 [MOVLP1092 NLD 2018 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Originally released on an exceptionally rare vinyl album on CBS Records in 1973, here is the second album by Marc Moulin's experimental funky jazz-fusion ensemble, Placebo. 

Recorded over two days in Brussels in April 1973, this set also includes one live track revealing the band's diversity mixing funk and seventies electronica, no more so than on Balek and Re-Union. Music On Vinyl never like to reveal the source material for their releases that often, however there are a few audible hints on this release which suggest the original master tapes were not in great shape. 

This rip certainly packs a punch as the tracks vary between a very seventies groove and early electronic experimentation. The mastering comes in at around DR11-DR13 hinting that little compression was applied, therefore remaining true to the original audio.
