Placebo - Balek HD

https://uptoeleven.be/seven-inch-sunday/ https://www.facebook.com/Up-to-Eleven-1084524378313557/?fref=ts Placebo was a Belgian jazz band (members include Alex Scorier and François Weyer) led by Marc Moulin. Their three albums (from 71 to 74) were widely played on the alternative scene in the early 70’s. Their debut “Ball Of Eyes” is maybe their better one (it won a prize at 1972’s Montreux Jazz Festival), but the 1973 album is not far behind. After a rather disappointing eponymous album (on the Harvest label), they slowly disbanded, giving their last concert in 76. Marc Moulin will then have a long solo career (his best album being Sam Suffy in 75), diddle in Eurovision spoof-group Telex, work with great Belgian group Cos, produced many artist (Philip Catherine a.o.), host his own radio show, had his own record label and for the last 15 years has been a precursor in acid-jazz. Balek is stoned and ultra-sleazy jazzfunk with fender rhodes, spaced-out synthesizers and stabbing jazz horns. Enjoy this killer proto-hiphop jam.
