HELDON - THIRD (French Electronic Psych)

Heldon - Third
Fance 1975
Disjuncta Records
Album is also known as "It's Always Rock n Roll"


"Electronic space rock of the highest pedigree – a brilliant third effort from Richard Pinhas and Heldon, nestled nicely in territory between the Cluter/Eno axis and Metal Machine Music – with perhaps a slightly stronger dose of proggish psych as well! The double-length set is filled with compelling keyboards and wonderfully snakey guitars – almost talking themselves with Frippish tones at times – but much more way out overall, and set loose on these long, extended instrumentals."

Drums - Gilbert Artman, Jean My Truong
Harmonium [Indian] - Ariel Kalma
Mellotron, Guitar - George Grunblatt
Synthesizer [Arp & Vcs3], Guitar, Bass, Mellotron - Richard Pinhas
Synthesizer [Arp] - Patrick Gauthier

Highly Recommended!
Buy the new reissue from Wah Wah Records!
