CLIVAGE: MIXTUS ORBIS (GRATTE-CIEL – FRANCE 1978) LP ****** condition (record/cover): excellent+ / very good+ (seams wear, 1/4-inch rip front top corner, 1-inch rip back top corner) ****** rare second album by andre fertier's very strange project of synphonic psych drone acid world fusion project clivage. here follow some enthusiastic abd descriptive reviews lifted from the internet: “fertier sidles up with a subtle orchestral lead-in that scarcely prepares you for the frenzied endless massiera-worthy cascade of blaring horn-driven symphonic riffs, chanting female choruses, tippett-like pianistic abstractions and spiralling hand drums that explode out of the gate a few minutes down the line. it's a moment that has to be heard to be believed and this equilibrium befouling activity continues apace for all of the first side. side two immediately kicks in with some super sick and sexy symphonized acid groove with a strong akin to amon duul 2's da guadeloop from hijack before taking off to the land of the more explicitly ethno-tinged for the album's duration.” and “andre fertier's clivage is one of the most impressive, unheralded, french ensembles. finding themselves in no-man's land betwixt indian music, jazz, drone and progressive rock styles, the ensemble created three fascinating albums well worth the attention of those who seek music that falls in the cracks between genres. the group's second album, mixtus orbis, continues from the first while expanding the line-up to incorporate a much wider instrumental palate. jean querlier joins on oboe, sax and flute, as well as two string bass players, two celloists, second tabla player michel delaporte, drummer claude salmieri and soprano brigitte toulson. the large ensemble infused a more classical symphonic feel to the music which, strangely enough, reminds me of gil evans work with (and without) miles davis merged with visions of the emerald beyond/apocalypse-era mahavishnu orchestra.....side 2, and the three-part suite fatoum astris, familiar territories are once again visited with a return to the tabla-impelled trance structures. the finale, youssoufia combines chanting, vocals and virtuoso oboe to point at the ensemble's final release”. ****** unregistered priority mail is about $12 to europe and $19 to the rest of the world (except for $26 to oceania), while registered airmail is about $18 to europe and $24 to the rest of the world (except for $32 to oceania). winning multiple items can make you save on postage. preferred payments is paypal, although other options may be available. thank you for looking.
