Jazz
In 1972, saxophonist Philippe Mate joined forces with renowned studio engineer Daniel Vallancien to record a collaborative album that pushed the boundaries of what jazz could be. With Vallancien using his mixing desk as an instrument - alongside early electronic instrumentation and a range of effects units - and Mate playing improvised, free-jazz style motifs, the pair conjured a set that was years ahead of its time. The eponymous set has been near impossible to get hold of for years, hence this reissue on SouffleContinu. There's much to admire throughout, from the droning, apocalyptic textures and scattergun sax solos of "Cambodge 70" and new age pulse of "Bateke Bojo", to the intergalactic weirdness of "Cyclothimie" and melodious, Steve Reich style minimalism of "Sanza Sallee".
