Sautons ce repas de midi
Frank Martel / Michel F Côté, Bernard Falaise, Éloi Deit
Cet album est certainement l’un des plus intéressants des dix dernières années au Québec… — La Galère, Québec
… honest and pleasant music that will please many. — Vital, Netherlands
Following up on their debut album “Enjambons le désert,” the incredible Frank Martel et l’Ouest céleste deliver 14 new eclectic- and fantastic-sounding songs under the musical direction of the untamable Bernard Falaise. “Sautons ce repas de midi,” crazy with lightness.
Highly likeable, this album contains 14 short songs, all musically and poetically entertaining and funny. Arrangements are creative, thrilling, and attuned to the wildness of the Ouest Céleste musicians. This album provides a highly enjoyable listen, a feeling urging one to hit the “Repeat” button. The eighth release from the label Monsieur Fauteux M’entendez-Vous
“And so we have a handful of songs bursting with imagination, like so many wildlife, exotic or quotidian dreams put on a county-fair ride under a shower of Northern lights

Critique
Après avoir publié trois recueils de poèmes dans les années 1980-90,
Musicalement, outre la batterie, la basse et les guitares, on trouve de la mandoline, du ukulélé, de l’harmonica, et même un theremin, un instrument rare et particulièrement inusité dans la chanson québécoise. À noter également la présence de l’excellent guitariste

Review
Monsieur Fauteux is a sublabel of Ambiances Magnétiques. It is specialised in more accessible music then normally released on Ambiances Magnétiques. Martel began as a poet and published two collections of his poetry. Later he learned playing the guitar and developped himself into a singer/songwriter. He wrote all the songs and lyrics for his third solo-album Sautons ce repas de midi. Also he plays little guitar, ukelélé, theremin and harmonica.. He is accompanied by
Fanfare Pourpour reminded me of the Willem Breuker Kollektief or the belgian “ballroom” ensemble Julverne. This Fanfare has 15 members and is assisted by 5 other musicians in some of the tracks. We hear saxes, trumpette, clarinette, flutes, but also accordeon, guitar, violin, banjo, etc. On a reunion in 1995 several veteran musicians decided to play again together and Fanfare Pourpour was born. Nowadays veterans and young talents are united in this great ensemble.As the title indicates the ensemble plays a very danceable music, albeit often plunged in a melancholic atmosphere. Music from and for people. No self-indulgent art, or music for the sake of experiment, but music that wants to serve an audience, to make a party. The 16 compostions come from members

That good ol’ song
It may seem a bit easy, but everyone likes a good song. That said, we don’t all have the same definition of what a good song is. And the artists in DAME’s catalog take some liberties with this format — that’s what makes things exciting. But

Party time
A time for celebrating, letting off steam, and disobedience, the party when applied to music can give way to a distortion of admitted rules.

And to boldly go where few have gone before
Maybe you would like to go further and hook someone on a kind of “musique actuelle” that is more daring and abstract. Here are a few key albums from DAME’s catalogue in improvised and electronic music.
