Philippe Besombes : Libra vol 1 (F,1974)**° Tr.1, "La Plage" 3 min Tr.12, "Appel de Libra" 2 min 5 Sometimes a bit chaotic in compositions but with good ideas of combining electronica with the acoustic.

Review at http://progressive.homestead.com/France.html Other good examples of electronica with acoustic & voice : Pierrot Lunaire : Gudrun, Deuter : D, Franco Battiato's early works,.. * (cdr compi) Ksiezyc : complete works (POL,1993-1996)****° From "NÓW" 7" EP (*****) Tr.3, "Chod?" 2 min Tr.3, "Zakopana" 6 min http://www.terra.pl/obuh/sounds/zakopana.ra Tr.4, "Gdzies Ty bywa?" 4 min 12 http://www.terra.pl/obuh/sounds/ksiezy11.ra From : KSIECYC" LP (****°) Tr.5, "Historyjka" 4 min http://www.terra.pl/obuh/sounds/histor1.ra Tr.6, "Verlaine "I 4 min Tr.9, "Chod?" 3 min Tr.10,"Mijana" 4 min Tr.14,"MM" 2 min Tr.17,"Verlaine" II 6 min Tr.18,19, "Historyjka" 6 min 29 http://www.terra.pl/obuh/histor.html From : VA: Music The World Does Not See Tr.20, "wiatrowa" 5 min Tr.21, "ko?ysanka"3 min 8 (49) -71 Fantastic and beautiful semi-acoustic pitched sounds, mixed with melodic minimal electronica ?, nicely evolving in compositions, with out-worldly slightly medieval vocal arrangements ("Zakopana") or chicken like vocals ("Gdzies Ty bywa?"). One of the best and most original semi-acoustic works I heard in years. And one of my favourite experimental works. Contemporary music with nice harmonies and weird pitches, very alive and otherworldly at the same time, somewhat theatrical in its concept. The LP was at first hearing less surprising as the single, but it is beautiful, more minimalist (with keyboards, voices mostly). Most of the LP and single are reissued on CD now. Highly recommended ! Will get a review on my webpages soon at http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/expanding.html * Koka Rec.

Highly recommended. Comes with some beautiful art pictures. With lots of electroacoustic combinations. Very poetic.

Rale : Soumrak / Twilight (CZ,2000)****° Tr.1, "Twilight" 11 min Tr.2, "Záblesk 1" 3 min Tr.5, "V Plameni" 7 min Tr.9, "Moondance" 4 min Tr.10,"Zablesk 5" 1 min Tr.11,"Bludiste" 8 min Tr.14,"Zablesk 7" 3 min 40 -122 Fantastic conceptual avant-acid folk item, in the twilight zone of acoustic inspirations. Mostly the "Zablesk" track contain shamanism like voice experiments. Highly recommended !! Almost impossible to play less. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/CZECH3.html * Indies Rec. Dagmar Andrtová-Vonková : Milí Moji (2CD)(CZ,1976-1995)***°° CD1 : Tr.2, "Lipecka" 5 min Tr.5, "Clapci Na Tom Hornim Konci" 7 min Tr.7, "Skala" 6 min Tr.11, "Makovice" 4 min Tr.15, "Holoubek" 5 min Tr.17, "Sokolnikova Dcera" 5 min 33 Very talented guitarist, and expressive Slavic voice. Surpasses the genre of singer-songwriting through emotional and technical expressiveness and skills. Recommended !! Not even time to play tracks from second CD, so here are only the tracks I found absolutely essential listen from the first CD. Each of these tracks are high quality pieces of art in any sense and to every depth of it. The chosen tracks of the second CD were airplayed in the new guitarists / fusion items radioshow, a week before. Incredible how many songs sound so essential to me, moving me, even when I don't understand a word, I do understand music that touches my heart. Very talented big lady !
