Didier Bocquet

Limited to 300 copies on splatter vinyl. Reissue of extremely rare kosmische/electronic/experimental/ambient album by Didier Bocquet, originally released in 1977 on his own Kiosque D'Orphe label, in 100 copies, each with a hand-drawn/written cover effort by the artist. Inspired by the first wave of german kosmische sound-travellers (Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream and the whole Berlin School spring inmediately to mind) but retaining that typical french urgency that places it close to Heldon / Pinhas, Lard Free or even Besombes / Rizet territory. In-your-face sequenced electronic music that sounds both spacy and violent at the same time whilst keeping a certain lo-fi, self produced vibe. Sometimes meditative, always cosmic Boquet's sequenced electronic music retains still a uniquely French take on the do it yourself synth style. Eclipse's tone is one of robotic gloom and dark solitude which becomes unforgivingly frosty: get in your obsolete spacecraft to traverse the infinite void and disappear into Didier Bocquet's intense deep space trance.
