LE BERCEAU DE CRISTAL (OST)

This is a live recording from 1975 recorded in both Germany and France. It's basically Manuel Gottsching and Lutz Ulbrich (AGITATION FREE) offering up spacey soundscapes like early TANGERINE DREAM, Richard Pinhas and Klause Schulze.

"Le Berceau De Cristal" is the longets track at over 14 minutes. Faint sounds build. This is laid back and spacey with gentle guitar. Some intensity after 6 minutes and especially after 8 minutes. It settles back 10 1/2 minutes in. "L'Hiver Doux" is led by organ early as other sounds pulse. A change before 8 1/2 minutes as these loud synth sounds come in. "Silence Sauvage" is mainly percussion sounds and electronics.

"Le Sourire Vole" is Electronics "101". Great sounding track. "Deux Enfants Sous La Lune" is very TANGERINE DREAM-like. It's like the electronic sounds are staggered. This sounds so cool. "Le Songe D'Or" is spacey as other sounds echo. There's organ and guitar in this excellent tune. "Le Diable Dans La Maison" is a short tune where sounds cry out and pulse. This is wild ! "...Et Les Fantomes Revent Aussi" sounds so good as waves of sound blow across the soundscape.

I have a place for this right beside my CLUSTER records. If your into spacey soundscapes this is a must.
