don't know what the blog says but from his webpage: PLACEBO
In 1969 he formed a jazz group with his friend Philip Catherine, merging jazz, funk and rock. In the early seventies, Marc creates the avant-garde jazz-rock collective ?Placebo?. Their influences are jazz but also Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Soft Machine. The project is a kind of 'ratatouille' of musical ideas, featuring all the Belgian ?hipsters? of those days. They experiment with the Moog and the first synthesizers. Between 1971 and 1975, they release three albums that have become legendary. The 'Placebo years 1971-1974' has been reissued by Blue Note in 2006. ------ If you haven't heard Placebo (I'm sure you have heard it sampled all over the place) it was the meeting point between Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Sun Ra, and James Brown. Very funky & spaced out. Original copies of Placebo records go for hundreds of dollars. some samples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RaeUN20sDE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHgY9Lq1Wig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KC90RS9jIY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNqICC_yeTo live clips (Marc is on keys) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VC8pnMB0Qg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7oqXgzfCpw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH72oZLmPOA MEK "Wibo Lammerts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 09/30/2008 01:45:50 PM: > My french is truely rusty... as in, I don't know any french...
