Cosmic Machine (1970 - 1980)

Cosmic Machine (1970 - 1980)   (2xLP)

  Cosmic Machine is a delicious double 180g vinyl set devoted to recalling the French electronic and Avante-garde genre.   This era was known for being narrated musically by progressive rock musicians and studio whizzes who had discovered another use of the synthesizer.......an ability to fuze Pop, Prog , electornica and yes ready???? Disco....all in one.

You will find otherworldly music and discover new cosmic vistas as you listen to this wild compilation.

Titled "Cosmic Machine: A Voyage Across French Cosmic & Electronic Avantgarde (1970-1980)",
This album already has been on constant rotation in my music room and my kids even love it !

The music is FUN and a tad cheesy I suppose to many but I love the natural organic vibe and trip down memory lane when synths found another universe for mankind.

Cosmic Machine is a compilation of 20 tracks many of which are quite rare and hard to find and was carefully remastered by Uncle O.  Artists on this comp all share one common theme and that was the ability to mix pop and experimental genres to create a mutant variety of electronic music.

This is the era before Stereolab and Boards of Canada and include contributions from Patrick Juvet, Dider Marouani, Space Art, JM Jarre, Cerrone, Serge Gainsbourg the Rockets and more....
