It's one of the most outstanding -- yet puzzlingly slept-on -- releases in the library's catalogue. Forget library, this is basically a sublime, straight-up moody jazz record with monster breaks. It's brimming with sensational psychedelic\/jazzy bass-heavy moments throughout. \"Indian Pop Bass\" contains a deep, abstract breakbeat that intersects with a bassline that loops as if it sinks into the swaying, heavy, slow drums. The mysterious, deliberate \"Prélude À Une Angoisse\" is an eerie, magical number with ace effects whilst \"Patio Bass\" is a breezy deep jazz knockout with fantastic drums and a sashaying melody. \"Tension Nerveuse\" creates an atmosphere that's exactly as the title suggests, full of genuine suspense, rumbling percussion and deep drama jazz. \"Amour, Délices Et Contrebasse\" is a touch lightweight so you're advised to head to the much darker, peculiar funk of \"Percussion Bass\", bursting with imaginative sounds and effects. \"Obsession Diabolique\" closes out the A Side, with a funky walking bassline and sparkling percussion battling against droning strings to create a uniquely unsettling, beatless track. Enlivening the B-Side immediately is the fantastic, propulsive funky-jazz of \"Les Copains De La Basse\". \"Doucement La Basse\" is largely forgettable but \"Bass Session\" is a blazing psych-jazz-rock burner. \"Bass After Love\" is devastatingly psychy, funky and unique. \"Ballade Pour Une Basse\" is a classic funky French jazz piece with an infectious bass melody that seems to anticipate \"Before The Night Is Over\", the Joe Simon track that Outkast sampled for \"So Fresh, So Clean\". The audio for Contrebasses has been remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the original, iconic Tele Music house sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e09\/15\/2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBWRD-146\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4251804140232\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eGuy Pedersen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eBe with Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003eJazz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40889335939133,"sku":"JAZ-P-4251804140232","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/BEWITH146LP_CU.jpg?v=1701280985"},{"product_id":"damaged-guy-pedersen-maxi-music","title":"[DAMAGED] Guy Pedersen - Maxi-Music","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-main\" class=\"col-md-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-product-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\" class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**All of these copies have bent jackets, dinged corners, or seam splits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuy Pedersen's magical Maxi-Music, originally released on cult Parisian library label tele Music in 1972, is psyche-rock and jazz-funk gold. It's a vital Pederson outing, oscillating between the rough and the smooth, but always with those hypnotic grooves. It's a start-to-finish winner, yet the final 13-minute-long opus will blow minds. \"Prétexte Pour Indicatifs\" is so mighty, it was covered by Keith Mansfield on \"Hot Property\" from Big Business\/Wind Of Change on KPM. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Purgatoire Mood (Interlude)\" is a beautiful segue into the stunning horn-laced, swift-paced aggressive jazzy excellence of \"Purgatoire Mood 1\" and the more poetic \"Purgatoire Mood 2\". \"Christophus Colombus\" is another song with multiple sections; the intro a rapid wah-wah-enhanced psych-rock statement that truly thrills before settling into a more steady yet no-less unrelenting guitar-funk showcase with wordless vocals and, later, reflective guitar and piano in gorgeous harmony. Closing out this electrifying side, the elegant \"Bass In Love\" is a soft'n'sultry slo-mo funk instrumental, as rough cello, jazzy piano and salacious, breathy vocals combine to create the scent of lingering heat to pretty rousing effect. Ushering in Side B, \"Sing Song Bass\" is a slow starter but, once the drums kick in brilliantly, there comes a deeply melodic, propulsive, organ-flute-piano-bass gem. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wonky, delirious psych-pop of \"Petit Moujik De Nuit\" is a curiously compelling number but it serves only as the pre-curser to the phenomenal closing track. An absolute beast that totally slays all before it! Yes, despite Maxi-Music being that rarest of library records -- a record that can stand up on its own from front to back -- it really does contain that one absolute killer track. And Peterson saved the best until last. The real highlight is the blazing psych-rock funky burner that is the infamous 13-minute thriller \"Kermesse Non Héroique\". Containing a wicked flute solo it genuinely sounds like something off the first Dungen album. The audio for Maxi-Music has been remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the original, iconic Tele Music house sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLP\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e12\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBWRD-145\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e4251804140225D\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eGuy Pedersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eBe with Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003eJazz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40889425428541,"sku":"JAZ-P-4251804140225D","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/BEWITH145LP_CU_d2544867-0161-42b9-8f0e-2d251b0e9468.jpg?v=1701287884"},{"product_id":"damaged-guy-pedersen-contrebasses","title":"[DAMAGED] Guy Pedersen - Contrebasses","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-main\" class=\"col-md-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-product-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\" class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**All of these copies have bent jackets, dinged corners, or seam splits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuy Pedersen, French jazz-soul-funk double-bass player extraordinaire, recorded Contrebasses in 1970 for Tele Music.
