{"product_id":"857661008315-fluence","title":"FLUENCE | FLUENCE","description":"Fluence 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.","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT LLC","offers":[{"title":"USA Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":53448697872684,"sku":"al-857661008315","price":85.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/3841647-2597165.jpg?v=1784383213","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/857661008315-fluence","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
