In 1950, at the dawn of an era of musical exotica (in which composers such as Esquivel, Martin Denny, and Les Baxter would test the limits of hi-fi strangeness), Yma Sumac entered the scene. She was a diva from the Andes with a four-vocal octave range, an unrelenting trill, and great looks, and she became an overnight sensation. Within years of her debut LP, Voice of the Xtabay, Sumac recorded more concept albums, starred in a Broadway musical (Flahooley), and appeared onscreen with Charlton Heston in 1954's Secret of the Incas. Truth be told, exotica music's popularity was short-lived (only to resurface again with the '90s lounge culture), and many would claim Yma Sumac was merely American housewife Amy Camus spelling her name backwards. No matter. This is still great, hilarious music unlike any other. With composer-husband Moises Vivanco, Sumac created a hybrid jazz, mambo, and world music that was the perfect showpiece for her vocal pyrotechnics. She scats, she trills, she bellows, but--mostly--she entertains. This disc collects Sumac's very best works, three unreleased tracks (worth hearing for the opening to "Negrito Filomino"), and extensive liner notes. --Jason Verlinde

Nothing's Free
Idole du rock dans les années 70 un peu oubliée depuis (même si sa base de fans est farouchement fidèle à chaque sortie d'albums et encore plus aux concerts), Alice Cooper est aussi la seule rock star à avoir figuré dans une bd de qualitée (oubliez Kiss). Ce récit, qui à l'origine devait juste servir de complément à l'excellent concept-album du même nom, se revèle aussi amusante qu'interessante. Narrant la rencontre entre Steven, ado mal dans sa peau, et le forain (le personnage d'Alice), sorte de diable faustien representant les dangers de la jeunesse, cette bande desinnée se revèle d'autant plus admirable qu'elle pousse plus vers la redemption que vers l'autodestruction, voie pourtant plus traditionnelle pour les fans de rock sous le charme des légendes à la Morisson, Hendrix, Cobain et autres Sid Vicious. Le dessin est dans la plus belle tradition des comics U.S. (Michael Zulli a réussi à créer des images facsinantes) et le récit de Neil Gaiman est aussi inspiré que ses histoires de Sandman (bien que plus simpliste, ce qui rend cette bd encore plus divertissante...un peu comme une histoire horrifique qu'on se raconte enfants autour d'un feu de forêt). Et puisque Alice Cooper mele hard rock avec l'imagerie de films d'horreur, plusieures scènes et personnages sont digne d'un Zombie ou Creepshow. Une réussite totale. J'enlève juste une étoile, car la bande desinnée originale était en couleures (pourquoi cette édition est-elle en noir et blanc?)
