Cosmic Machine - A Voyage Across French Cosmic & Electronic Avantgarde (1970-1980) ‎(CD, Comp).

This overview of French electronic music during the 1970s is a useful, entertaining compilation of artists and sounds, both obscure and well-known. Cosmic Machine is striking for the sheer range of its tracks. It makes no attempt to portray the building of a particular scene.

What a decade 1970-1980 was for French music! Featuring well-known Gaelic cosmic pioneers such as Serge Gainsbourg and Jean Michel Jarre and slightly less prolific space cadets such as The Atomic Crocus and Quartz, Cosmic Voyage is an immaculate document that celebrates and applauds some of the most influential music to have emerged in Europe during the 70s. Listen to tracks such as Space's "Magic Fly" or Pierre Bachelet's "Motel Show" and you'll hear three decades of disco and synth music that followed.

Cosmic Machine unearths 20 slices of electronic music made in France between 1970 and 1980, years before genres or brackets existed for this sort of thing, back when the country’s music scene was meant to have lagged aeons behind higher-rated neighbours in a fog of accordion-clutching stereotypes.

A second opus that takes us a bit further in time to introduce us to the dark corners of a French musical landscape where recording studio workaholics like Jean-Pierre Massiera or Roger Roger produced endless strings of records that challenged the laws of gravity (and sometimes the laws of good taste), where teenage heartthrob singer Alai.
