Gilles-Luc Laurent & Jean-Patrick Voindrot - Jazz-Rock (Library, 1986) [lossless limited time only offer]

Here as promised some more from this keyboard duo who collaborated on all the tracks, rather than alternating one side each as was usual for library records.  Luckily we have mint condition media to enjoy here. The style is very French, that is, light and a bit breezy, but synthesizer-based, not minimalist at all, occasionally well composed and progressive.

Most tracks are followed by a shorter, half-minute version, that I left on at the ends of the longer versions.

The first, self-titled, track:

Gilles-Luc Laurent, Jean-Patrick Voindrot ‎– Vision, A Library Record from 1985

Here's a requested library album from the composers Gilles-Luc Laurent and Jean-Patrick Voindrot.  It's pretty typical library stuff augmented by some touches of more progressive composition, as you can tell if you have a listen to the song called "Steeple Chase:"





The track called "Starship" also features a wonderful sustained tritone which, admittedly, becomes a little bit boring after the first couple of minutes in my opinion.  Amazing how spacey a simple interval can sound, at least when played on a synthesizer.  And those lovely tritonal goodies reappear near the end of the second side on the track "No Man's Land".

And then of course, when I hear a song called "Burlesque" on a library record, I always run for cover, or perhaps to the nearest soundproof vault.

This pair made quite a few records back in the day:

I will try to bring out their collaboration called "Jazz-Rock" a bit later.
