Info & Description (from the original label info):
2020 Repress. Standard black vinyl version.
Animated sci-fi masterpiece La Planète Sauvage (a.k.a. Fantastic Planet), winner at Cannes Film Festival in 1973, is a bizarre and beautiful film. Towering blue-skinned figures, tiny humanoids in the midst of revolt, and drug-induced Tantric sex transport viewers to a truly magical setting.
Composer Alain Goraguer creates an equally hypnotic score from a palette of effects-laden guitars, flutes, Fender Rhodes and strings. While the lush arrangements are reminiscent of Goraguer's collaborations with Serge Gainsbourg in the 1960s, space-age synth flourishes suggest a more psychedelic era. Moody vignettes flow together in tense, slow-paced funk rhythms and Baroque textures.
It comes as no surprise that La Planète Sauvage has been cited as an influence on contemporary artists such as French duo Air and American hip-hop producers J Dilla and Madlib. Gorgeous, interplanetary soundscapes resemble the surreal meeting point between Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds and Broadcast's Future Crayon.
This long out-of-print vinyl release features the original soundtrack recording and newly designed artwork. Recommended for fans of Ennio Morricone, Basil Kirchin and David Axelrod.
Notes:
Re-pressed by RTI with the master cut in 2014 at George Horn Mastering.
The obsolete Rainbo Records' typical etching in runouts are inherited from the previous press.
from Hype sticker text:
La Planète Sauvage OST
( aka Fantastic Planet )
Classic 1973 space-age pop soundtrack from long-time Serge Gainsbourg collaborator.
Moody vignette with tense, slow-paced funk rhythms and Baroque textures.
Sampled countless times by J Dilla, Madlib, and more.
Note that the credits indicated for Roland Topor, Josef Kábrt, René Laloux and Jean Guérin appear on the inner sleeve, but apply primarily to the film in which Alain Goraguer's music appears. While the packaging does feature images from the film, the writing and directing credits specified for these four artists do not apply to any other aspect this release. Nor are Jean Guérin's sound effects included with the music.
