“A brain melting stew of jazz-fusion, Zeuhl and avant-garde experimentation with a pinch of the Canterbury sound (plus anything else you can think of!), the debut/one-off album from obscure French collective Plat du Jour from 1977 is a bewildering but utterly indispensable work!
Holding six tracks of dissonant weary sax, noisy guitars, thick liquid bass, sparkling electric piano, colourful keyboards, a battery of rattling drumming and screeching deranged French vocal twitches, it's an eclectic mix that makes for one completely mad vintage era prog album that's worthy of so much more attention and status! Irresistible stuff!” - Alex Rumspringa
“A very obscure example of French 1970's underground prog "Meal Of The Day" was a good name for a band that took lots of the best elements of various bands before them like Red Noise, Ame Son, Triangle and such-like, mixing it all together into an amazingly complex brew. No surprise that we have the devil with a cooking pot on the front cover then! But you'll find even more at work in the album's seven tracks, especially in that one of the two lead singers sounds like a French Bernd Noske (from Birth Control), and because of that I also hear elements of Altona and the Belgian band Pazop.” - Audion UK
