Animated sci-fi masterpiece La Planète Sauvage (a.k.a. Fantastic Planet), winner at Cannes Film Festival in 1973, is a bizarre and beautiful film. Towering blue-skinned figures, tiny humanoids in the midst of revolt, and drug-induced Tantric sex transport viewers to a truly magical setting. Composer Alain Goraguer creates an equally hypnotic score from a palette of effects-laden guitars, flutes, Fender Rhodes and strings. While the lush arrangements are reminiscent of Goraguer's collaborations with Serge Gainsbourg in the 1960s, space-age synth flourishes suggest a more psychedelic era. Moody vignettes flow together in tense, slow-paced funk rhythms and Baroque textures. It comes as no surprise that La Planète Sauvage has been cited as an influence on contemporary artists such as French duo Air and American hip-hop producers J Dilla and Madlib. Gorgeous, interplanetary soundscapes resemble the surreal meeting point between Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds and Broadcast's Future Crayon. This long out-of-print vinyl release features the original soundtrack recording and newly designed artwork. Recommended for fans of Ennio Morricone, Basil Kirchin and David Axelrod.A1 Déshominisation (II) A2 Déshominisation (I) A3 Générique A4 Le Bracelet A5 Ten Et Tiwa A6 Maquillage De Tiwa A7 Course De Ten A8 Ten Et Medor A9 Ten Et Tiwa Dorment A10 Ten Est Assome A11 Abite A12 Conseil Des Draags A13 Les Hommes - La Grande Co-Existence B1 La Femme B2 Mira Et Ten B3 Mort De Draag B4 L'Oiseau B5 La Cité Des Hommes Libres B6 Attaque Des Robots B7 La Longue Marche - Valse Des Statues B8 Les Fusées B9 Générique B10 Strip Tease B11 Méditation Des Enfants B12 La Vieille Meurt
