Jean Michel Jarre - Music for supermarkets (1983)

"The author himself hid behind the scenes, but his wife was observing everything. Now, when the original was gone and there was only one unique copy, they could begin. Starting from 60 francs ($8), the album quickly reached four-digit numbers. Who’ll give more? You? Or you? OK. Three, two, one! Musique pour Supermarché was sold for 69,000 francs ($9000 back then) to an aged monsieur who had woken up after a long coma due to a car accident. The radio had been playing a sad 1981 song Souvenir de Chine by Jarre at that moment."

There's a slamming track at the 12-minute mark, "Musique pour Supermarché Part IV" latterly known as "Blah Blah Café" from Zoolook (1984).
