about

2005 French TV release. "Describing French TV’s music to someone who’s never heard them before is a difficult task. There are various elements of Canterbury whimsy, Rock in Opposition angularity and Zappa-esque complexity. On the album’s opening track, “Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously,” jerky, off-rhythm beats flow into relaxed, jazzy interludes where flute and sax tones dominate. Following on from there, ominous bass and synth interplay continue the strange musical journey. The music is never safe, never predictable. That is one of French TV’s calling cards, so to speak, and it’s what makes their music so maddeningly enjoyable to listen to. Much like a Frank Zappa album, you never know from song to song (and often from moment to moment within a song) what’s going to happen and where the song is going to go.--PROGSCAPE
