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 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoe Simon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e track that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutkast\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sampled for \"So Fresh, So Clean\".
