Eurotrash wannabes, take note: here are fourteen slinky slabs of sleaze funk courtesy of France’s Montparnasse 2000 library, which provided music for movies, TV, and radio during the ‘60s and ‘70s. Despite being one of the smaller music catalogues in the country, Montparnasse 2000 managed to attract the cream of French musicians, who dutifully delivered instrumental tracks brimming with wah-wah guitar, honking brass and unstoppable backseat rhythms. Most of the composers included here will be familiar only to dedicated vinyl and soundtrack junkies, but you don’t need dusty fingers to appreciate what they’re putting out. Gerard Levecque and Claude Romat’s “Call Me Africadelic” stalks through the high grass on a rubber-limbed bass line and then comes in for the kill to the sound of stabbing horns and a sinister jazz-funk drum shuffle. Eric Framond kicks off “Ghetto” with a chorus of hand jive and a circular guitar lick, then slides into punchy, almost martial brass. Maurice Vander’s “Grande Roque” and “Vision Pop” by JJ Roberts and JM Guise float on a buzzy, E-fueled bed of organ that’s as airy and empty-headed as the cool blonde you’ve always wanted on your arm when you enter a casino. But then it’s back to the action, with Rene Costy firing off hollow-point guitar stings on “Danger,” Jacky Giordano donning black gloves to wring notes out of his Fairlight on “Don’t Be Cool,” and the great Janko Nilovic closing the CD with a Satanic chorale that howls over his thunderstorm of brass and strings on “Xenos Cosmos.”
