{"product_id":"857661008315","title":"FLUENCE | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFluence is the brainchild and first release of sound artist \/ provocateur Pascal Comelade. Recorded in Montpellier, France in 1974-1975, the project consists of exploratory electronic pieces in the Fripp \u0026amp; Eno vernacular with a Kosmische tinge. \"A Few Reasons To Stay \/ A Few Reasons To Split,\" a title inspired by Swiss conceptual artist Urs Lüthi, features Comelade's kaleidoscopic arpeggios and Richard Pinhas' howling guitar, which variously resembles a dreamlike cello and ghostly human moans. \"Barcelona Tango's\" off-kilter exotica with pocket trumpet and looping drum beats foreshadows Comelade's later work, which would create a stir in some avant-garde circles for his use of unorthodox instruments (plastic saxophone, toy piano, etc.). On the side-long \"Schizo,\" Comelade's electric organ with probing, Terry Riley-esque swooshes collides with Gabriel Ibanez's thick, reedy buzz-together forming a truly magical soundscape. These incendiary performances ably join the ranks of other dreamily cosmic, impressionistic guitar-and-synth masterworks like No Pussyfooting and The Serpent (In Quicksilver) as well as Conny Veit's work with Popol Vuh. Originally released in 1975, Fluence offers a remarkable emotional and textural range-richly experimental and deeply progressive-that sounds at once timeless and strikingly contemporary. This first-time standalone reissue is limited to 750 numbered copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLUENCE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46063669248245,"sku":"857661008315","price":25.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0857661008315.jpg?v=1731297127","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/857661008315","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
