+ ou - 8000

Description

Long kept in the shadows, "+ Ou – 8000" is a rare gem of the French musical avant-garde, born from the meeting of three composers at the peak of their inventiveness. Initially intended as sound illustration, this album crosses the boundaries of library music, space jazz, and electronic experimentation, with a freedom and boldness that today give it cult status. Teddy Lasry, an iconic figure from the MAGMA universe, has always moved between jazz, progressive rock, and electronic music. A saxophonist by training, he explores here synthetic and spatial territories with striking modernity. Francis Mercier, discreet yet remarkably effective, is a sound craftsman who left his mark on many library music records in the 1970s. Here he delivers precise rhythmic textures, tense atmospheres, and a minimalist groove mastery. Christian Perraudin, a chameleon composer bridging academic music and film scoring, brings his cinematic touch— floating melancholy and sci-fi tension. A true artisan of sonic ambiance. Boldly visionary, + Ou - 8000 is an invitation to active listening, a journey into the heart of a fascinating sound laboratory. This unprecedented vinyl reissue is a unique opportunity to (re)discover a crucial record that remained out of reach for far too long. Limited edition – for lovers of rarities, analog synths, and genre-defying musical exploration.
