Malicorne were the Fairport Convention of French folk-rock when it comes to the renewal of traditional material from their homeland (but also Canadian and other material). On the other hand, Malicorne were able to maintain a stable line-up and sound throughout the seventies. The early Malicorne albums are faithful to French folklore with only sparse use of electric instruments, vaguely similar to Steeleye Span's first album. Gabriel and Marie Yacoub had previously played with Alan Stivell and Pierre De Grenoble. Gabriel's nasal voice was well fitted to the old material, giving it a kind of timeless feel (but Marie and the other members also did lead vocals on certain tracks). Gradually Malicorne used more percussion and vital rhythms, but they always remained closer to folk than rock. If you enjoy such music you can't go wrong purchasing any of these excellent albums.

Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
A strange album which came with a big cardboard insert for the 'Overdose' game, a kind of 'Monopoly' for stoned people! The lyrics are obviously drug-related (You Gotta Be Stoned, Veronica High) and the music is rather bluesy with some sound effects. Now rare and sought-after but probably more for the game than for the music itself, which is of minor interest. ~ (Stephane Rebeschini)
