This is truly one of the weirdest records I've listened to ever. Music that resembles the feeling of being stoned without having dropped any psychoactive substances. I wonder where the artists are located.

"Formed in Lyon in 1969 as Chico & The Slow Death, the following year they renamed themselves Chico Magnetic Band, comprised of: Chico on vocals, Patrick Garel on drums, Alain Mazet on bass and Bernard Monneri on guitar.
Released on the Disques Vogue subsidiary label Box Office, “Chico Magnetic Band” was recorded at two different Parisian studios: Europa Sonor and Wagram Studios."
review from Julian Cope's Head Heritage: Even though this absolutely brilliant and overwhelming album is but a half an hour in length, it is so chock full o’ balls and amazing riffs that consistently make all the right moves at the right times it’s downright scary and seems twice the length due to its raging density of vision. Given that (and that fact it seems almost entirely culled from moments of only the top tier fab waxings in my collection) it also seems far longer than THAT because everything on it counts SO BAD it lights a fire in my head, creates a fevered dickswell and comes close to bursting my heart every time I spin it.
Why? Put simply, this freakin’ album has EVERYTHING. And by that I mean it draws from elements of approaches set down by “Phallus Dei”-era Amon Düül Zwei, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Silberbart, Straight-era Alice Cooper, Can, Guru Guru, Groundhogs, Speed Glue & Shinki, Led Zeppelin, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Tiger B. Smith and “Free Your Mind”-period Funkadelic (so help me Eddie) and are seamlessly wedged into one album.

Seems to be reissued here, but not sure if it is a legal reissue. If you want to have a copy of this extremely rare recording, you could get it there.
