I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO AUCTION SUCH A NICE RECORD . I DECIDED TO RECORD IT ENTIRELY . A SAMPLER PER SIDE !!! REAL FASCINATING WORK BY THE LATE BERNARD PARMEGIANI . FRENCH LIBRARY LABEL MPI , 1974 ORIGINAL PRESS , HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL .

VINYL IN VG+ CONDITION . HAS SOME HAIRLINE MARKS BUT PLAYS WELL . I LET YOU BE THE JUDGE OF IT WITH THE SAMPLES .VERY VERY LIGHT WARP NOT AFFECTING THE PLAY AT ALL .

THE SLEEVE IS VG ONLY BECAUSE OF 2 HOLES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FRONT SLEEVE MADE BY THE SOUND LIBRARY IT CAME FROM . THE LAMINATED SLEEVE HAD A STICKER ON IT AND IT WAS REMOVED . HALF OF THE FRONT SLEEVE NOW STILL HAS A STICKY FEELING TO IT . I PROTECTED IT WITH A PVC SLEEVE . EVEN WITH ALL THOSE ELEMENTS , THE SLEEVE STILL LOOKS NICE TO ME !!! PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTION !
"As far as mentorship goes, studying under Pierre Schaeffer himself at GRM has to be one of the highest pedigrees possible. Even so, such situations can sometimes produce little more than clones of the master. Thankfully, that's not the case here.

There's a paranoiac strain running through Chants Magnetiques. Patterns rev frenetically to high speeds only to unexpectedly crash and burn. Metallic clangs lumber from the darkness to disrupt the progress of everything that's transpired previously. Dire beeps accelerate into emergency warnings, and swelling, amplified squeaks threaten to suffocate the eardrums. The haze and hum of machinery, echoing plunks, eerie drones, and howling winds permeate many of the tracks.

Even so, not every track is so somber. "Ondes," for instance, sounds like several loops of space transmissions, a vaguely promising if not optimistic minimalist exploration that wouldn't be out of place alongside A Rainbow in Curved Air. Elsewhere, beats and pulses add a vague structure. In particular, "Energy" has several competing layers of rhythm that make it the album's longest track and its most complex. In contrast, the album's simplest and most chilling song is "Pulsion," in which a deep pulse provides the foundation for icy feedback drones.

For the most part, little on this album shows its age. Although the technology has advanced considerably since its original release, the most important element of Parmegiani's work isn’t the tools he uses but to what effect he uses them. At times nightmarish and claustrophobic, the sounds on this album produce both anxiety and wonder in ideal proportions.
