Danseparc finally found!
posted in Music |
Ever since I saw M+M’s (nee Martha & the Muffins) video for Danseparc in a hotel room in Toronto in 1982, I have wanted to see it again. Now that day has come thanks to YouTube. I love Martha & the Muffins. They’re probably my favorite band of all time, and Danseparc is one of my favorite songs by them. I saw them perform once live at The Channel in Boston, and the tour was in support of the Danseparc album. They opened with the title track and I was just blown away. They were the coolest band I’d ever seen. And the video is so whacked. I love it.

Agreed. The bassline on Danseparc is hypnotic. The video is wack. Interestingly, the Danseparc album is being reissued as a 25th Anniversary Editon. It’s been digitally remastered by Peter J. Moore (the producer of the Cowboy Junkies’ Trinity Sessions album) and will be released by Cherry Red in the UK on August 4th, 2008. The album will include 3 bonus tracks including the original 12″ inch dance mix of “Danseparc”, the b-side “These Dangerous Machines” and a live version of “Sins of Children.” The album is produced by Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel).
The band have a new album coming out at the end of the year called ‘Delicate’, which my spies tells me is a return to form.
Watch it… these Muffins just got a whole lot tastier.
