THIS IS THE MASSIVELY COLLECTABLE CULT RECORDING BY PINHAS, THE CREATOR OF FRENCH ELECTRONICS LEGEND, HELDON. PINHAS WON A SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY AT THE SORBONNE WHERE HE LATER FLOURISHED AS A PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY YET HE ABANDONED ACADEMIC PURSUITS IN FAVOUR OF EXPLORING MULTI-DIMENSIONS IN SOUND. DEVOTING HIS ATTENTION TO VERY PERSONAL MODIFICATIONS OF ANALOGUE EQUIPMENT INSIDE HIS IMMENSE SOUND LABORATORY, HE MANAGED TO DEVELOP THE SONIC TEMPLATE LAID DOWN BY BRIAN ENO & ROBERT FRIPP AMONGST OTHERS AND IN DOING SO, PROPELLED THE TRAJECTORY OF CONTEMPORARY ELECTRONIC ROCK INTO WHAT WE NOW TERM AMBIENT MUSICS.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE REVERSE PHOTO, PINHAS RESEMBLES CERTAIN OTHER FRENCH FIGURES OF NEW WAVE ELECTRONICA LIKE DE ROUBAIX AND MASSIERA. THE INCREDIBLE SLEEVE ART IS ALSO NOTEWORTHY FOR BEING EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL!

A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON STEREOLAB, TORTOISE, BOARDS OF CANADA AS WELL AS THE CURRENT NEW FOLK ELECTRIC SCENE IN LA, PINHAS HAS ONLY BECOME MORE OF A MYTHICAL FIGURE ON THE ELECTRO CIRCUIT AND AS SCH, HIS EARLIER RECORDINGS REMAIN SOUGHT AFTER. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COLLABORATION OF DEEP AMBIENT EXPERIMENTIA AND PROTO-TECHNO GROOVES. A LOVELY LP.
