Soundtracks tend to be some of my favorite records. This Alain Goraguer record for the 1973 French animated film La Planète Sauvage is no exception. Beautifully crafted tunes, perfectly melding the worlds of psychedelia, blaxsploitation funk & soul and classical french essence. This record probably has the best and smartest use of a wah pedal in my opinion: so incredibly rhythmic and overused to all hell. Maybe you might not like wah pedals but I do and I sure appreciate someone who will use it A LOT. You might’ve heard this stuff sampled by Quasimoto. After listening to this record (and David Axelrod) you might also think “Whoa! I TOTALLY get Portishead/Stereolab now!”
