Tracklist:
Excellent cassette of homemade synth sounds from the Paris based Puech (who is, I gather, a scientist for his day job.) The music is broken into four suites (as befits a year) and is just great. While it owes certain ghost debts to English and German antecedents, its manner of tone bending is fresh and unique. There are space jiggles moments that recall early Gong at their zoniest, and layered blasts the make me think of prime Tangerine Dream, but for the most part this tape visits previously explored quadrants in new ways. Quite an accomplishment.
