Five tigers have conquered the European independent music scene with their psyche rock soundtracks based off of 1970s French sub-cult films.

The vibrant history of the 1970s French underground is full of unsung musical heroes- those whose hard work and creativity were never given the chance to shine.

Pézenas native, Jo-Bernard Castagneri- artist, musician, producer, and much more- belongs to that prolific generation once doomed to obscurity deep within the murky shadows of French and Euro B-culture.

But the legends of Castagneri Studios were destined to endure. Nearly four decades later, with the collaboration of his son, Pierre-Armando, Mr. Castagneri has breathed new life into his most notable project.

This project, which would eventually become Les Tigres Du Futur, began in 1978 when Castagneri brought in some of the area's most prolific session musicians: Stefano Mamazzoni on lead guitar, Pietro Blotimani on rhythm guitar, Arnaldo Rizzo on bass, Nicola Erico Mornione on drums and percussion, and Niccolo-Giuseppe di Serbinolaï on various keyboards.

(There are two interesting notes on Castagneri's musicians. Firstly, some of them were known for their soundtrack work with filmmakers such as Lamberto Bava and Jean Rollin, as well as with various Italian and Mexican C-movie directors. Unfortunately, these collaborations are so obscure today that even a deep scouring of the internet will only manage to produce the titles of one or two releases. And secondly, these musicians are all rumoured to have been Castagneri's extended relatives.)

Now, what does it sound like, you ask? Well, these futuristic tigers are to easy listening what Mötörhead is to Gregorian chant. It is an ear-startling exhibit of acidic guitars, powerful bass, and heady keyboards supported by robust drumming.

Every piece is influenced by the weird and wild world of B-movies. Each track is like a mini movie experience unto itself. That is if every mini movie experience was Anton LaVey playing organ with Man or Astro-man and Goblins on a speed binge during a Dario Argento screening.
