If memory serves well, the core of the lyrics in the M.A.0 album "Red Boot", (with Akchoté, Farkas, Hélène Labarrière (b) ad Erik Brelva (dms) ) were all excerpts from Mao's writings.... (maybe all from the Little Red Book).
Exact !
Dom Farkas is primarily an actor (theater), and from what I know, he appears on the W&W realease "Au Bordel" with Akchoté, Stian Carstensen, Lol Coxhill and others. And don't know this one very well. All I know is that it's kind of an audio film around traditionnal "chanson française", that did get very mixed reviews here.
He was also part of a very nice group of newcomers back in the nineties: "Trash Corporation" , with Dom Farkas, Julien Lourau, Christophe Minck, Bojan Z and Daniel Casimir. These names are the most famous of the young french generation. But I don't think any album was released...
There is also a band called "Les Poetes B" with Dom Farkas singing... http://www.rectangle.org/UK/catalogue/BAC02/REC_C2/rec_c2.html I highly recommand this CD : it is illarious if you can understand French lyrics... I guess you can get this CD at Other Music in NYC... Dom Farkas is an amazing performer on stage but he does not tour/stage very often. It reminds me of a French Mike Patton type of, somehow...
