Album Notes & Community Reviews
Embracing emerging digital synthesis techniques and heavily utilizing the Roland D-50, the French electronic pioneer presented a slick, slightly more commercial conceptual piece. The recording bridges massive, symphonic synth arrangements with ethnic vocal samples and driving, sequencer-heavy rhythms inspired by the industrial revolution.
