*180g blue vinyl* "'Heritage' is the latest salvo from David Grellier, the fella behind the Drive OST's memorable theme, 'A Real Hero'. Following his cold war-focused 'Northern Council' LP in 2011, he's set his sights closer to home on 'Heritage', paying tribute to the pioneers of French science fiction - Shuki Levy, Rene Laloux, Jean Chalopin, Bernard Deyries, Moebius - whose synthesiser soundtracks richly informed not only his childhood, but all of us who watched syndicated French and even Japanese cartoons when we were only in short troosers. As you might expect, it's a rather lovely album, full of nostalgic emotion and driving "hero" themes laced with infinite arpeggio melodies and a proper sense of purpose.
