BRUME-BATTERY HEN SABOTAGE, CD, 1992, FRANCE







The second in my continuing series of posts of superb experimental electronic manipulations by this gifted French audio artist and frankly, this one would probably have been a more ideal point of entry for the uninitiated than his Signature Model CDR that I posted a few days back, as the remit here is rather more wide ranging and it's impact a bit more immediate, with Christian Renou yoking all sorts of rhythmic drives to his normal grab bag arsenal of surrealist electronic experimental techniques in a way that almost borders on Randy Greif territory at times and is both original and unsettling, not to mention unyielding, as this CD tracks as one continuous hour long journey.

This sounds great! But iss some of the album missing? I opened the file. One mp3 is titled "1-7".
Inside the cover flap it says, "1-10".
Thanks for the great music either way:)
But if possible if some is missing, I would love to have the rest:)
And thank you again:)

anonymous-I was wondering if anyone was gonna notice that. Yeah...it's correct. That's the full contents of the disc. 1-7 is what was written into the CD data by whoever put in the initial text in for this CD. I should have changed it to 1-10 to match the cover info so as not to cause confusion. Ah well.
