Here's the other Les Jaguars record I got at the WFMU Record Fair.

It starts out on the gloomy side again with "Maria Elena", which has an occasional sprightly guitar line.

There's some impressively frantic guitar picking with echo on "Supersonic Twist", which has a great sound in general.

"Mer Morte" is sad again and has a great atmosphere.

The highlights from the second side are the swampy twang of "Le Repos du Jaguar"—in which the guitars blend to produce a frog-like sound—and the Link Wray-like cruncher "Arvida, Nous Voici", both Les Jaguars originals.

There's also a nice cover of "Adventures in Paradise".
