Originally recorded in 1970, this is the perfect introduction to Wakhevitch’s dark, powerful and often menacing sound world. An unlikely mixture of 20th century classical avant-garde, both orchestral and electronic, and psychedelic rock courtesy of French psych-prog band Triangle.

The text inside the wonderful red gatefold cover holds some keys to the composer’s universe, mentions to early 20th Russian mystic / thinker Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff and also Kabbalistic and Alchemistic traditions are coupled by Wakhevitch’s vision of a cosmic art for the 20th century, aligning himself to similar efforts by William Sheller and Guy Skornik.

This record sits comfortably next to other period pieces like Sheller’s "Lux Aeterna", Skornik’s "Popera Cosmic", Jason Havelock’s "Pop Symphony" or even Vangelis Papathanassiou’s "Fais Que Ton Rêve Soit Plus Longue Que La Nuit".

Typical French post-mai 69 orchestral avant-pop vibes galore!
