This was featured in the first edition of the guidebook 'obscure sound'. Self-produced album by Philippe Cauvin, member of the French Bordeaux band Upsala, released in 1984, with musicians Serge Korjanevski (keys, perc) and Phileppe Ravon (triangle). It features acoustic guitar melodies reminiscent of Steve Tibbetts, and unique vibrated vocals that are avant-garde in their sound. A5 is very unique vocalization, while side B is a long track with a falsetto voice chorus and acoustic guitar ensemble that changes over the course of various developments. Definitely recommended for those who like ECM's guitar music.
