Intense, dark and irresistable!.......2001-04-20
This 1976 release by Heldon represents French electronic music at its frantic, industrial, aggressive height. No other recording--by Heldon or anyone else I am aware of--contains the power, creativity or experimental prowess of this one. At once challenging and compelling, Un Reve Sans Consequence Speciale is the most outrageous, unusual and impressively original of their entire discography. Dense with snarling guitar solos--distorted, drifting and haunting, as if you're hearing them from afar, moving frantically through a deserted cityscape--intense percussion rhythms, manic, bubbling synthesizer sequences; this is an assault upon all comfortable conventions, an assault which demands attention and deserves to be paid attention to. In parts it reminds me of the compelling chaos created in the best of Morton Subtonick's late 1960s academic electronic recordings ("Silver Apples of the Moon" or "The Wild Bull") but of course this one's phrased in the vernacular of progressive rock and the rock-born electronic music of 1970s Europe.
But what's the Speciale part? Cuneiform Records published this CD in 1995 and wisely chose to include two bonus tracks, recorded live in 1978 (tracks 3 and 6). Amazingly, these live recordings fit in so well that they are indistinguishable from the studio recordings, in both recording quality and musical content. Frankly, the CD would seem empty without them.
