Jean Hoyoux - Planètes 2xLP

Deluxe reissue on vinyl of this much sought after release by Jean Hoyoux including 8 (!) inserts.

This 1982 Belgian ‘Kosmisch’ stunner was originally issued by ‘CRETS’ or Centre de Recherche et d’Etudes. The seven extended pieces form a course of ‘sound therapy’ similar in tone to Angel Rada’s ‘hand played’ explorations in rubato-rooted forms. 

The largely tonal pieces – recorded using string and choir synthesizers, vocoders, drum machines, etc. along with a heavy battery of phasing and time-based effects-lands somewhere between a ‘library music’-styled mood excursion and a genuinely transformative mind melter that ranks as one of the more obscure entrants into the…obscure electronic music canon. (Keith Fullerton Whitman) 

2LP reissue from the original 1982 master tapes. Original artwork with 8 inserts including 1 new insert with new liner notes by John Olson and Edward Ka-Spel. Cut by Dubplates & Mastering
