Fluence LP

Label :Tapioca 10012 / France
Condition :ex/ ex(cover/vinyl)

Great 70's debut from Pascal Comelade on french label Tapioca!! One of the most difficult to find Comelade album in his discography!!

Here is a review from the net: "Fluence was a project of synthesiser player/experimental musician Pascal Comelade, named after a Heldon track, and would begin and end with this sole album. Comelade started making his own music in the mid-70’s, and released LP’s and cassettes on his own private label before releasing much of anything on any other labels. I lack any details for these other early releases, unfortunately. He later released many albums under his own name, much of which is experimental, some commercial, and in 1983 formed Bel Canto Orquestra, a fluid ensemble of 5-25 people who played an array of toy instruments. Comelade has continued making music to the present day, and over the years has collaborated with the likes of Jac Berrocal, Richard Pinhas, Robert Wyatt and Jaki Liebezeit.

The opening track ‘A Few Reasons To Stay, A Few Reasons To Split’ (14:37) features Comelade on synths with Heldon’s Richard Pinhas on guitar, and is cosmic and meditative music that sounds very much like Fripp & Eno playing with Terry Riley. The concluding track on side 1, ‘Barcelona Tango’ (2:36), is a short, lazy, jazzy tango (of course!) with electronic treatments, performed with Ben Soussan and Ph. (Philippe?) Beseme, presumably on the conventional instruments. Side 2 is just one long track – ‘Schizo’ (20:35) – of floating synth textures with some electric guitar, performed with the aid of J.P. Barreda and G. Ibanez (the notes on the back cover of the record don’t say what exactly they did, though, as with Soussan and Beseme).
It’s a very enjoyable album with little need for explanation! Basically, if you like Fripp & Eno and the more cosmic Terry Riley, you’re quite likely to get into this (if you can find a copy).

A small amount of music (less than 5 minutes) from this album can be heard on the Pascal Comelade compilation ‘1983/2004 – Back to Schizo’ [Gazul, 2004], though it is apparently taken straight from non-mint-sounding vinyl with no effort made to clean up the sound, according to on-line reviews. This suggests that Comelade hasn’t got his hands on the master tapes, so hopefully they show up somewhere for a proper reissue."

Highly recommended!!
