This four-part record is an early example of musique concrète (music designed by extracting the musicality from recorded sounds, rather than inputting the music into a traditional instrument). The first section is a score Henry wrote for a ballet, and consists of traditional rock music overlain with effects (interestingly, ?Psyche Rock? was later re-purposed for the Futurama theme). The second section is an intense hodgepodge of electronic effects, clanging, opera vocals, and other varietous noises. The third part is a collection of minimalist ambient tunes, and the last consists of short, sound-driven pieces featuring grinding, stuttering atonality. (?Fievre 1? is especially good.) This is a fantastic starting point for those interested in musique concrète, as it provides a sampling of the different forms the genre can take. It, also, is a fascinating listen in its own right.
