Sofa Records is delighted to propose the reissue of this seminal French underground record !
Released in 1979, this concept record is an attempt to sublimate sexual perversion. It results from the association between Jacques Pasquier (founder of S.C.O.P.A./Invisible Records and central figure of the Parisian alternative scene during the 70s), the producer Hector Zazou, the outraging graphic design collective Bazooka and other talents from the outskirts of artistic creation - more precisely, writers and journalists associated with the emerging daily newspaper Libération. For this reissue, we called upon the memories of the main actors of this project (Jacques Pasquier, Thierry Schollhammer, Martin Meissonnier, Kiki Picasso) in order to detail its story. recounted in the liner notes – and believe us, its a nice batch of cheeky anecdotes.
We wanted to make a reissue close to an artefact: it includes the inserts. We added a printed inner sleeve with exclusive notes and iconography. All track were remasterized.
Reissue: Sofa Records
Liner notes: Simon Debarbieux
Graphic design: Félicité Landrivon
Digitalization and mastering: Frederic Aldstadt

Sofa Records est ravi de proposer la réédition de cet incontournable de l’underground français !
Paru en 1979, ce disque-concept est une tentative de sublimation de la perversion sexuelle. Il est le brillant résultat de l’association entre Jacques Pasquier (fondateur de S.C.O.P.A./Invisi- ble Records et figure centrale de l’alternatif parisien des années 70), le producteur Hector Zazou, le collectif de graphistes iconoclaste Bazooka et autres talents des marges de la création d’alors – notamment, des écrivains et journalistes associés au quotidien Libération, alors émergent. Nous avons sollicité les mémoires des principaux acteurs de ce pro- jet (Jacques Pasquier, Thierry Schollhammer, Martin Meissonnier, Kiki Picas- so) pour en détailler l’histoire, relatée dans les notes qui accompagnent ce disque.
La réédition, proche de l’artefact, comprend des titres remasterisés, une pochette in- térieure imprimée avec des notes et de l’iconographie exclusive et les inserts originaux.

“Do you still dream in water?” she asks.
He nods—“only when it rains inside.”
Their words drift, slow like signal loss,, soft clicks between heartbeats.
A drone hums overhead,
its shadow stroking their faces.
“Are we free now?” she whispers.
He laughs, small, broken. “We’re just less afraid.”
They share one headphone,
listening to the city’s pulse—
loops of breath,
echoes of what could’ve been
“Hold me,” she says.
“I am,” he answers,
“in the static.” magoski
J'ai commandé cet album en particulier pour Luna Turca qui a une grande importance pour moi l'ayant entendu dans un lieu et des circonstances mythiques. romankaelin

Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening for anyone who considers themselves a fan of music. 3sidesinasquare
