Jean Claude Vannier – L’Enfant La Mouche Et Les Allumettes – Yves St. Laurent

Jean Claude Vannier was the producer of Serge Gainsbourg’s classic concept album Histoire de Melody Nelson . As much as I love M. Gainsbourg’s record, its dwarfed by Vannier’s own L’enfant Assassin des Mouches. It is a masterpiece—a singular, ambitious mixture of chorale music, funk, chansons, klezmer, acid jazz, and prog rock (ok, so this guy’s got my number, right?).

This video uses part of the album as a score to a fashion show by the also great Yves Saint Laurent.
