Welcome to Fruits de Mer Records
...possibly the world's smallest new-versions-of classic psychedelia, acid-folk, progressive rock, krautrock and spacerock colour vinyl record label, certainly the smallest one we know of called Fruits de Mer (and the biggest, for that matter).
Classic and obscure tracks from the 60s/70s reinterpreted and released on ludicrously-limited colour vinyl. Pink Floyd, July, Billy Nicholls, Jefferson Airplane, The Monkees, Jimi Hendrix, Caleb, Clouds, The Bee Gees, The Who, Del Shannon, July, Eno, Hawkwind, Cockney Rebel, Silver Apples, Funkadelic, Velvet Underground, Tudor Lodge, Caravan, The Zombies, Jackson C Frank, The Beatles, Dantalion's Chariot, Sendelica, Hausfrauen Experiment, Vibravoid, Rob Clarke and the Wooltones, The Swims, Marshmallow Staircase, Zombies of the Stratosphere, Geese, The Luck of Eden Hall, The Campbell Stokes Sunshine Recorder, The Chemistry Set, Sidewalk Society, Permanent Clear Light, Us and Them, The Flaming Gnomes, Cranium Pie and more gather together for your listening pleasure...

listen to a few FdM tracks with our compliments - it's the least we can do as we tend to sell out, thanks to fellow vinyl junkies (thank you all!)
...see the videos...
...or, as if slabs of colour vinyl aren't enough, we even spoil you with B-Grade DIY music videos, usually made in someone's bedroom (no, not that sort of video, calm down); check out our Youtube site, but don't be away too long, we're missing you already...

Ready to take care of some of these vinyl beauties? Yes, it's time to head over to our shop; we're already there, waiting patiently behind the counter, pretending we're extras in a Nick Hornsby film
Or maybe you'd just like to see everything we've released so far and remind yourself of your quick thinking in buying every one of them from our early days in 2008? Or gasp in envy at all the FdM singles that are SOLD OUT and you missed because you were busy painting the spare bedroom at the time? (it looks lovely, by the way)
Call in and take a look at the menu of fishy delights that only the best chippie in the lost city of Atlantis could match...

FdM ON THE BLOG
yes, it's another stream of semi-consciousness from the depths of FdM's psyche...The July blog includes details of our new members club, more verbal outpourings on our first LP, 'A Phase', finally available to buy rather than just read about (as you may have noticed, we've been building this one up for months - or 'moths' as the first version came out - interesting concept)12" of grey and occasionally mauve vinyl
Here are a couple of press quotes, just to whet your appetite...
..."like The Beach Boys playing Silver Machine" - Classic Rock's Geoff Barton on 'A Phase'
..."makes you feel that you're living inside the bong" - Shindig!
...we also have some links to recent web interviews with FdM's Andy Bracken, a man of few words (but not few enough apparently, one of the interviews had to be turned into a partwork...!
...YOU'RE NEVER ALONE WITH AN FDM T-SHIRT...
...as worn by Jo, Olivia, Andy and myself
(for some reason, Andy and I were edited out of the photo).
They might shrink a bit in a cold wash (or at least that's what we told the girls when we made them stand in a cold paddling pool for about three hours) but they look pretty damn fine and they are just $15 apiece
black or white
medium or large
...the choices are endless (ok, so there are only four)
LATEST NEWS ON FdM 14
...one more single from us in 2010 (or should we say, AT LEAST one more single from us in 2010) and it will feature one of the bands from 'A Phase We're Going Through' reinterpreting three or four classic 60's psych tracks from some of the UK's best-loved bands....the band are at the final stages of recording and...you'll read more about it here first
...EVEN EARLIER NEWS ON FdM 15!
FRUITS de MER IN SPACE
hard to believe but we're still working on a spacerock/krautrock compilation that was going to be our first release of the year but we're hoping will release escape velocity before the end of 2010 - an LP this time, featuring new versions of tracks originally recorded by the likes of
Neu!
Brainticket
Hawkwind
more Neu!
...and a couple of suitably obscure items we've managed to haul aboard
....it started out as spacerock, then a lot of seventies German influences started to get mixed in, which means we can't even come with a title for the album, never mind a final track listing
ANYWAY, MORE INFO AS WE GET IT HERE
