Alain Pierre - Des Morts (Of The Dead) '2023

Tracks list

Expanded reissue of mega rare 1979 unknown vanity pressing LP that blends
ethnological field recordings, musique concrète principles and introspective
synthesiser music from this cult European studio maverick and historic
collaborator of COS, Philippe Druilet, Marc Moulin and John Surman. Alain
Pierre’s Mondo movie soundtrack to the controversial ‘Des
Morts’ shares very few stylistic rivals, but fans of Jodorowsky’s
‘The Holy Mountain’ soundtrack and some of the more eldritch early
sampling experiments of Jean-Pierre Massiera will certainly draw fragmented
comparisons herein. Other listeners might file this album at the weirder end of
your Smithsonian Folkways shelf, just before the Video Nasty soundtracks.
Presented in remastered form comprising extra vintage studio outtakes (in
accordance with the film’s morbid narrative), ‘Des Morts’
serves as a would-be sequel to Finders Keepers’ previous Ô Sidarta
release witnessing Pierre balance his allegiance to the Belgian bandes
dessinée scene and Thierry Zéno’s shock cinema oeuvre from the
heart of his uber-legendary Brussels based experimental recording studio through
the 1970s.
