Description
A fusion of Progressive Rock (Electric Guitar) and Electronic. Rare private release, limited to a rumoured 200 copies. A guy named Continuo (or the blog of the same name) describes it much better than I ever could;
Starting with an exquisite acoustic guitar track, the LP only progressively indulges into pure electronic endeavors to become a genuine, instrumental Kosmische Musiktravelogue in the tradition of Pascal Comelade’s Fluence project (1975) or Richard Pinhas’ Chronolyse (1976). Aquatic, floating synth sounds emerges on track #2, graced by a sublime Fripp-ian guitar melody. Meunier unleashes the beast on #3: a Korg 800 DV duophonic, analog synthesizer (nice YouTube demo here), used by the likes of Vangelis or Kitaro. The next one, Promenade avec les Poissons, or A Walk with the Fishes, is a tripping, almost acid house instrumental. After #4, a short, funny interlude about sea slugs (!), the pièce de résistance is the epic, side-long Les Épaves, a stately, hypnotic exploration of underwater worlds by means of undulating cosmo-synth lines, a 23 minute ride on electronic music waves through semi-hypnagogic hazes. Happy diving!
Le Kiosque d'Orphée - KO/09.0410 - 1979
Cover VG
(Front has light wear, small tear...Stains/yellowing on back.... signed by Alain)
Insert VG
(minor tear on right (similar to sleeve), subtle crease)
Vinyl VG+
(Sold to me by a reputable French dealer as NM. Vinyl looks great
under normal light, only subtle handling marks here or there, no
scratches etc.. Plays well with an occasional click (rather common
for pressings on Le Kiosque D'Orphee), and the start of each side has
some noticeable but not terrible background noise, but clears up
quickly after a few rotations)
