France's near-revolution of May '68 was the zenith of that generation's struggle for a new kind of life. It kicked the country's small, but vibrant, counter-culture into overdrive, and birthed a local underground music scene. The bands it spawned made music with much less rock purity than groups from the UK and US. Their musical and cultural influences foreshadowed improvisation, disjunction, and genre-blending: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, free jazz, and radical politics. The introduction of the synthesizer in the early 1970s added fuel to the fire. This collection of French underground music inaugurates a series to accompany 'Synths, Sax & Situationists', the first English-language book to investigate this movement. It focuses on the music of the second wave of bands that emerged in 1972-73, which saw radicalized psychedelic and jazz influences merge with the future-music possibilities offered by new technology. * Six track compilation of French Underground music.* Psychedelic, Electronic, Jazz, Experimental. * Music accompaniment to the 'Synths, Sax & Situationists' book.* 12' vinyl with single sleeve and insert.
