Description
Fluence "Fluence" LP issued by Tapioca (TP 10012) in France, 1978. ****** Rec:vg+++ / Cov:ex ****** Rare original pressing on Tapioca of the first Pascale Comelade LP project. Beginning with an electric piano vamp that could have been off of a Magma or Weidorje album, the eponymous album by Fluence does not at all approach the language of Zeuhl, rather it stays to a cyclical electronic mode that resembles some Terry Riley. Pascal Comelade has released many a solo album, but before doing so created this little jem with the help of Richard Pinhas, J.P. Barreda, G. Ibanez, Ben Soussan, Ph. Beseme. This 1978 Tapioca original release features three pieces. "A Few Reasons to Stay/A Few Reasons to Split" initial line begins to fade into a string patch and voices as a composite mesh emerges, a shimmering dreamy sort of piece whose elements interweave with each other and end up becoming a backdrop for a Pinhas guitar solo. "Barcelona Tango" is a bizarre, short little ditty, almost irrelevant as the first piece takes up most of the side. Side two consists of "Schizo" which continues the shimmering, cyclic electronics with guitar on top. Unsurprisingly, this could have been a piece of music from a Heldon or Pinhas solo LP, except that Comelade's methods have a much softer sheen to them than the typical harsh bite of Pinhas' solo work. Overall, a great piece both top intense and not bad for relaxing to. ****** Record plays with occasional surface noise, typical of the Tapioca pressing. Some minimal cover wear (see photo). ****** Please wait to receive my invoice before sending the payment after the auction ends. Attention!
