Etron Fou Leloublan - Batelages
An awesome album from this French Rock In Opposition group. It's made up of the typical rock group format plus a saxophonist. The group is primarily avant-prog, but contains elements of jazz, punk, and all around badassery. The vocals are primarily ranting screeching in French that sounds almost like a spoken word poem at times (too bad I can't understand French), and there is also some heavy Canterbury influence on this album as well.
This album is offbeat, surprisingly accessible, and a blast all the way through. I can't wait to get into their other albums. Check out this opener (my favourite on the album):
