WAKHEVITCH, IGOR - Les Fous d'Or

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Fauni Gena FAUNI 014 Release Year: 2013 Note: re-issue of WAKHEVITCHs 4th full length LP from 1975, the first in collaboration with American dancer/choreograph CAROLYN CARLSON, sounding partly more lyrical & dreamy than before with its use of lighter electronic/synth sounds, but also still has a strong ritualistic & esoteric & noisy side with its 'new musical' instrumental arrangements, archaic horns, clanging bells & crazy female chants, laughter & sound poetry.... Price (incl. 19% VAT): €23.00 More Info "Released by Pathe Marconi in 1975 and housed in a fantastic surrealist cover designed by his father, Russian painter/art director Georges Wakhevitch, this album marks the debut of Wakhevitch's long-standing collaboration with american dancer/choreographer Carolyn Carlson. It also shows the composer's progression into a more esoteric and lyrical grounds: a departure from the violence of his first three albums into quieter yet equally dark and mysterious regions. Divided in two sides (called "CORNERSTONE"/"LES FOUS D'OR") the whole record oozes a dreamy, mysterious, surrealist atmosphere enhaced by the spoken word introductions that open a series of mesmerising electronic pieces which range from the gentle to the hypnotic. Animal sounds, ritual horns, wordless vocals and assorted metal banging and scrapping add to the whole mix for a landmark sound that will evolve in future albums. Six different pieces that take off where Hathors' 'Aurore' left before moving into a crazy and disjointed landscape that echoes the crazyness of Docteur Faust yet in a subtle, stranger, more warped way. Strictly limited to 500 copies on transparent clear vinyl. Single cover reproducing the original 1975 artwork. Includes insert with liner notes reproduction of the original Les Fous d'Or insert."
