The amazing companion piece to the Jacques Thollot-Watch Devil Go LP I posted a few days back (recorded in the same year for the same label with many of the same personnel), Une Bien Curieuse Planete mates the sax, flute and synth of Jeanneau and the bass work of J.F. Jenny-Clark (both featured on Watch Devil Go) to Magma keyboardist Michel Grailler's piano and synth, with Bernard Lubat taking Thollot's place at the kit for a series of highly peculiar pieces that alternate between gorgeously woozy synth dominated library music-like curios, free jazz blowouts and straighter stretches of jazziness, the album split about evenly between these poles, though it's deceptively frontloaded with a lengthy piece thats one the album's straightest, so don't be deceived...

François JEANNEAU played in TRIANGLE, one of the first pop French bands - a good one! At that time, F. JEANNEAU experienced the very first synths in a pop background and these experiences were very exciting! Then, JEANNEAU leads, since the late seventies, a carrier as a jazz musician - let's say his music is just above the average. He also teaches the music in Paris.
