[O&G_040] Old Fresto Volume 3 (2011)

2011/12/27

[O&G_040] Old Fresto Volume 3. This is the third compilation of the early works by La Fresto (1996 – 2008). Outre-Tombe is an extract of Au Risque, Péril & Fortune (La Prise de Tête, 1996). Bon Dernier, L’automne, Je suis un peu souffrant, La Pluie j’te jure, Fin de Série and Des Gens Qui En Demandent Encore are unreleased demos from the Lithium album Ça Va Mieux, Non ? (Lithium, 1998-2003). La Lune Blanche, Sapin Couché Par Le Vent and La Petite Mer are taken from a special session recorded in 2007. Dandy Nonchalant is an extract from Punkabstrait ep (La Prise de Tête, 1998). Une Fleur d’eau and Gary Cooper are recorded in 2004, songs writed first for Charlotte Gainsbourg (but we don’t know if she has heard). King Of Cool and Mister Jakelin are the first works by the electropop group The Choral Top with Billie Machine (2005).

It’s really difficult to have a complete discography of La Fresto. We know he’s playing keyboards and drums since 1986 and his first tapes were recorded in 1989 with the project Carbone & Diamants. In 1990, he founded The Louis Certal’s Band (La Bergère was recorded at this early time)…
