Bruxelles
Alright then, Planam are pushing the boundaries of sanity again with this latest outbreak of lunacy by the French avant-garde quartet joined by freakishly talented vocalists Dave Nuss of NNCK and Mik Quantius from Köln. Gollaboration No.5, 'Bruxelles' was recorded at 2am by Yann Leguay and documents the sort of ritual strangeness that would get you locked up in less tolerant areas of the world. We're not quite sure who does what but Mik and Dave are definitely responsible for some of the …
Alpes
** Edition of 400 copies, includes printed inner sleeve. ** The sixth Gollaberration features a rather odd encounter indeed!

Gol & Charles Hayward
** Edition limited to 350 copies. ** For this new "gollaboration" the French combo GOL confronts the British drums legend Charles Hayward (This Heat) for a rough/delicate and intense/mellow paradoxical music delight. The studio side compiles four improvised sessions exploring some possible oblique acceptations of the word "rock", while the live side recorded at 104, Paris, in dec 2008 during the Sonic protest festival, takes the encounters into the realm of psychedelia. The apparently chaotic ho…
Pandamoniahbleeummm!!!!
Volume 2, "Pandamoniahbleeummm!!!!" marks the encounter with Charlemagne Palestine, pionneer of strumming music and piano maximalism, in the St. Eustache Church in Paris, known for its world famous church organ. The following battle, in form of a long incantatory improvisation, Charlemagne Palestine playing the church organ and GOL doing the electronics, bass, guitar, and the flutes part, combines many attributes of a pagan ritual.GOL was formed in 1988 in Paris by Jean-Marcel Busson, Frédéric R…
