Review by Romulo Borrero

Percussions Hors Série: A Jazz Oddity That Still Slaps (Kinda) Let’s get one thing straight—Michel Lorin, Jack Nilson, and their merry band of French jazz weirdos didn’t exactly reinvent the wheel with Percussions Hors Série. But damn if they didn’t slap a fresh coat of paint on it. Released in 1966 under Barclay Records, this album is like your grandpa’s record collection got drunk and stumbled into outer space. It’s part easy listening, part space-age bachelor pad fuel, and all kinds of oddball charm. Take “Tico-Tico,” for example. You’ve heard this tune before—it’s that Brazilian classic everyone’s uncle tries to play on the accordion at family gatherings—but here, it gets the full Gallic lounge treatment. The percussion pops like bubble wrap, and there’s this cheeky little swing that makes you wanna grab a martini glass and pretend you’re suave as hell. Then there’s “Plink-Plank-Plunk,” which sounds like what would happen if xylophones had a fistfight in a cartoon. It’s goofy as hell but somehow works because Michel Lorin knows how to keep things tight without taking himself too seriously. Props to Pierre-Marcel Ondher for producing this mess and writing liner notes that probably sounded profound back then but now read like someone trying way too hard. And can we talk about Three Lions’ photography? The cover art screams mid-60s mod chic, even though the music inside feels more like a Sunday afternoon nap than a revolution. Here’s the kicker: Percussions Hors Série isn’t gonna change your life or anything. But it’s got enough quirks to make you hit replay just to figure out why you kinda dig it. Like, who thought putting sleigh bells in “Sleig Ride” was a good idea? Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. But it sticks with you anyway. Final thoughts? This album reminds me of those old-school sci-fi movies where everything looks futuristic but also hilariously dated. Listening to it feels like stepping into an alternate dimension where France decided to colonize Mars using lounge jazz as propaganda. And honestly? I’m here for it.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Percussions Hors Série* by Michel Lorin, Jack Nilson Et Son Orchestre, is a hidden gem from 1966 France. It blends jazz with easy listening and even space-age vibes, which was super trendy back then. Fun fact—most people don’t realize this, but the track *Tico-Tico* became a quirky hit in its own right. Oh, and get this: the photography for the album cover came from Three Lions, a well-known photo agency at the time. So it's not just music; it’s kind of a time capsule too!
