SPACE ODDITIES 1974-1991 (vinyl)

Description

Yan Tregger, one of the most iconic artists of sound illustration from the 70s to the 90s. MYTHICAL, CULT, ESSENTIAL! When the pilots of the 'Space Oddities' ship tackled Yan Tregger's work, a problem immediately arose: where to start? Where to end? Which wall to climb to scale the edifice? It took years for Alexis Le-Tan and Jess to compile this selection that reflects the profusion and eclecticism of the man who, at 81, has not given up and still defines himself as a "jack of all trades." If this Stakhanovite pursued multiple directions, it was because he had an innate ability to compose melodies. They are the foundation on which he built his iconoclastic production. Symphonies, sound illustration, film soundtracks, TV themes, commercials, French variety, pop, disco, electronic, experimental, or relaxation music, Yan Tregger embraced all genres, styles, and formats during a career that spans from the 50s to the present day. "Very funky albums with vintage tones for unparalleled musicality." --- Les InRocks ---.
