Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the dissolution of his pioneering group Heldon, the French guitarist and synthesist delivered one of his most aggressive and rhythmically driven solo endeavors. 'L'茅thique' blends searing, Fripp-influenced guitar sustained over dense, pulsing Moog sequences and relentless drum machines. The project serves as a brilliant climax to his most prolific era before a lengthy hiatus from recording.
