Released on the legendary Owl Records, Moderne is a quintessential piece of French avant-garde jazz. Claude Barthélemy delivers a masterclass in "architectural" guitar playing, blending the precision of math-rock with the fluid improvisation of European jazz.
The album is characterized by its sharp, angular riffs and complex rhythmic structures, occasionally echoing the disciplined intensity of King Crimson. It perfectly captures the 1980s transition where jazz-rock met post-punk aesthetics. For collectors of Zeuhl or high-concept fusion, this remains an essential, yet often overlooked, masterpiece of European music.

B7 Cecil Wary / Alain Feanch – Mysteres Aux Bermudes 3 1:58

The album was released on the German Sonoton label and is subtitled: Contemporary Documentary Themes, Mood and Underscores.

Scoop is a quintessential piece of early 80s Library Music, designed for dramatic and documentary use. The album delivers a vivid, cinematic blend of Jazz-Funk, Jazz-Rock, and early Electronic styles.
The mood is generally energetic, tense, and modern, reflecting the contemporary sound of a television newsroom or action report. Tracks are driven by strong, often frantic, rhythms, slick basslines, and punchy horn-like synthesizers, balanced by moments of ambient, reflective underscore. It’s a groovy, sought-after relic from the transition between 70s funk and the colder 80s synth sound.
