Album Notes & Community Reviews
Uniting the idiosyncratic Belgian synth composer with Tuxedomoon's multi-instrumentalist frontman, this collaborative project weaves deeply cinematic, nocturnal soundscapes. 'A propos d'un paysage' perfectly balances icy, pulsating electronic textures with mournful, improvised saxophone lines and exotic Middle Eastern percussion. The highly evocative, surreal album remains a crowning achievement of the culturally diverse, avant-garde roster at Crammed Discs.
