The Dead Mauriacs // Retour aux îles motorisées / Back to the motorized islands CD

French experimental musicianThis is a CD released by The Dead Maurics from Tokyo's experimental label Zappak in September 2023.

Below is a commentary by the label.

"Olivier Prieur, who lives in France, is actively engaged in creative activities under the name The Dead Mauriacs. He uses the term 'Concrete Exotica' to describe his musical style, and describes his musical style to date. Among these, this work is a work that particularly emphasizes this direction.
There are 2 detailed parts in the two songs included, and it's like sticking your head into a jukebox filled with the world of Mondo movies from the 30s and 50s.At times it's a cut-up, at other times it's seamless, switching between dizzyingly exotic sounds.Once you play it, a sonic adventure like never before will be waiting for you.

This CD also includes a short story written by the author himself (both English and French) called ``Rapport Prospectif / Prospective Report''."

zappak:

"Olivier Prieur, who lives in France, is energetically engaged in creative activities under the name of The Dead Mauriacs. He describes his own musicality with the term 'Concrete Exotica', and as far as his previous works, this work emphasizes that direction in particular.
There are 30 parts between the two songs on this album, and it's like putting your head into a jukebox full of Mondo movies' worlds around the '40s to the '60s. Sometimes cut-up, other times seamlessly, exotic sound scenes switch dizzyingly . Once you start listening, it will be waiting for a sound adventure like you've never tasted before.

Also, in this CD it is included a short story written in English and French by the author himself called "Rapport Prospectif / Prospective Report"."
