About me:
FRUITS de MER RECORDS - POSSIBLY THE WORLD'S SMALLEST COLOUR VINYL PSYCH, ACID-FOLK, PROG AND KRAUTROCK RECORD LABEL (THAT WE CAN THINK OF)
...welcome back my friends to fdm2, Fruits de Mer Records' alter ego on myspace (our 'home' is www.myspace.com/fdmer); and we're kicking off with news of new releases from FdM you can't afford to live without...
PINK FLOYD'S 'JULIA DREAM' GETS FOLKED-UP......
...Yes! It's our first-ever Christmas single(!), no, it's not by Slade, instead it's a stunning three-tracker from Swedish duo Us & Them, featuring blissful, wistful, delicate covers of tracks by Tudor Lodge, Jackson C Frank and a unique interpretation of PINK FLOYD's 'JULIA DREAM' that combines the track with the nursery rhyme 'All the Pretty Little Horses' that the melody was based on - you have to hear it! A 7" icy-white vinyl single in an 7 1/2" 8-page booklet (no, we're not sure why either, we clearly need to buy a tape measure one day) Now in stock in the USA - and soon on their way round the world - get over to www.brackenrecords.com and place your order before the next avalanche...
CRANIUM PIE PROG UP THE BEATLES......!
...CRANIUM PIE deliver a Hammond organ-drenched, Canterbury-tinged, Ugly Custardly, progged-out and wonderfully inspired cover of The Beatles' 'Baby You're a Rich Man', plus a truly mind-bending version of that sixties psych classic 'Madman Running Through the Fields'....$8 inc. P&P - mark our words, Cranium Pie are destined for big things - remember where you heard 'em first! Reviewed in Classic Rock mag, "sounds like Arthur Brown backed by The Bonzos", No.50 in the Piccadilly Records charts!!!
FREE A3 POSTER WITH ALL EARLY ORDERS!
VIBRAVOID's 'KRAUTROCK SENSATION' ep........
Described by Record Collector mag as "a hairy bunch of psychedelic motherf*ckers from Dusseldorf", Vibravoid unleash four krautastic tracks including 'Mother Sky' (Can), 'Ruckzuck' (Kraftwerk) and 'Eye Shaking King' (Amon Duul II), plus a track originally by a German band back in '68 that's so obscure even Google can't place it. 7" of vinyl with your name on it (actually, it has Vibravoid's name on it); just $8 a time - don't hang about - it made No.4 in the Norman Records charts and No.6 at Piccadilly Records. Kraftwerk have rush-released eight of their albums to benefit from the massive amount of publicity our single is creating (we might have made this bit up)
FREE A3 COLOUR POSTER WITH EARLY ORDERS!
MYSPACE HAVE BANNED THE COVER - SO YOU'LL HAVE TO GO TO WWW.FRUITSDEMERRECORDS.COM TO SEE IT AND BE CORRUPTED
VERY LIMITED RED VINYL RE-PRESSING NOW IN STOCK - DON'T DELAY!
OUR SUMMER RELEASES...
The Flaming Gnomes unleashed quite possibly 2009's only popsike concept single, featuring The Zombies' 'Care of Cell 44', Caravan's 'Love Song with Flute' and the entwined ramblings of a certified eccentric from the seventies called Maurice; a total of 10 minutes of blissful UK sixties sounds revisited ...'Go to Our Webshop' and we'll be only too happy to exchange 8 of your Earth dollars for a brand spanking new piece of psuitably psychedelic purple vinyl; if PayPal doesn't appeal, send us a message and we'll sort out a cheque or cash deal)
We also persuaded Mark Fry, who recorded one of the rarest 70's albums EVER, the acid folk classic 'Dreaming with Alice' - to put together an exclusive single for us that combines a live version of 'The Witch' with a superb new recording of the title track from 'Dreaming', produced and mixed by Nick Franglen, no less...the first time that 'Dreaming with Alice' has been released in a complete, uninterrupted form.
We've been waiting since 1972 for this and it's brilliant stuff - 'Alice' retains the spirit of the original recording but with wonderful production and instrumentation;'The Witch' was recorded live in Chicago in 2008 with the help of a few friends in bands such as Califone, Hands of Hydra and The Singleman Affair.
SORRY, COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!
SUNKEN TREASURES FROM 2008...
...we set saill in 2008 with three great singles (well, we liked 'em)...the first featured lead singer from THE 70's cult acid-folk-rock band 'Mellow Candle', Alison O'Donnell, who couples Nick Drake's "Day is Done" with "Frozen Warnings" by The Velvet Underground's Nico. Alison has put both tracks together with the help of Graeme Lockett, aka 'Head South by Weaving'; just hit the 'Go to Our Shop' button, say goodbye to $8 and say hello to Alison's single...JUST A HANDFUL REMAINING!...
...and on the other deck...
...our first ep, by the brilliant Spanish neo-psych band, 'STAY'.
Three absolute classics, originally written by The Rolling Stones ('2,000 Light Years From Home'), Graham Nash ('Chicago') and Strawberry Alarm Clock ('Rainy Day, Mushroom Pillow') respectively, made this another unmissable FdM release...
STOP PRESS (or something)...SORRY, SOLD OUT!
Way back in the Spring of '08, when BBC TV was still 405 lines and everyone listened to Radio 1, Schizo Fun Addict played havoc with 'Theme One' (originally by George Martin/Van der Graaf Generator) and put lyrics to the title track from The Small Faces' 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake'. A fine way to launch a record label, we personally smashed bottles of Tattinger against every copy before sending them out - it is now, sadly for anyone looking to complete their FdM collection, COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.

fdmer2 is the older, slower and overenthusiastic brother of Fruits de Mer Records(www.myspace.com/fdmer).
Fruits de Mer's mission in life is to unearth stunning tracks from the 60's and early 70's and get equally stunning artists to reinterpret them; fdmer2's more modest ambition is to help spread the word, play a few songs and videos along the way and, it's a fair cop, do everything I can to persuade you to hang around here long enough to become a convert to the FdM philosophy: tune in, turn on, cough up.

Visit www.myspace.com/fdmer to find out more about the label and pass the time of day with Andy, my young, gifted and bracken partner in this foolish venture...
Go to our webshop - www.fruitsdemerrecords.com - and spend, spend, spend
...or put your life briefly on pause, sit back and watch the Fruits de Mer videos scattered around the site; or visit the blogs and contribute some of your musical knowledge, personal opinions, archive material and vitriol...
...make friends and influence people in the creatively-titled 'friends' section and, as you reluctantly make your excuses and leave, please bear in mind that web 2.0 is all about behavioural targetting (or so I read in my copy of 'Ventriloquism for Dummies'), so give us a kindly mention the next time you find a like-minded soul, quite clearly we need all the help we can get....oh, and have a quick look at MUSIK PSYCHEDELIA www.myspace.com/fruitsdemer - my 'b-side' - if you like fdmer2, you'll only be mildly disappointed by it.
Ogden's gone now...but we'll back before you can say, "good riddance"; or in the words of Schizo Fun Addict....
