Michel Gonet / Cecil Wary, 13 albums (non-Tele Music)
















I love that picture of the girl on the bicycle because it takes me straight back to my childhood, and all those pretty blondes I had crushes on back then in summers we spent every day on our bikes in the neighbourhood.

For this series I omitted the stuff he made for Tele Music, of which there is a lot, to focus on the remainder either as Michel Gonet (discography here) or his alias Cecil Wary (discography here).  It might be you are already familiar with him, especially since he made two remarkable progressive masterpieces, under the Wary moniker: Pop Incidence in 1979 and as himself Gonet: Futura in 1980.  Actually none of the other albums come close to those 2, so maybe you will be disappointed, always an existential risk with these libraries that are so often purely generic (which is what they were meant to be in fact).  So I'm going to ignore the not-so-good albums, of which there's tons here.   I'm also going to skip over Pop Incidence and Futura on the assumption everyone has heard those already (though I included them below in the packages).  I think they were posted on the old mutant sounds blog, or maybe in pnf days.  If they weren't they should've been, and those old blogs sure screwed up bad.  May they rest in peace.

The Flower Song has the most meticulously entrancing chords I've heard in a long long time, with the echoey flute and violins pulling the electric keyboard in different directions with their interlocutions:





There are a few similarly beautiful songs in there.  Note that based on the MON 37 Cat # the year of this release is 1976.  A magical year for inventive composition.  Note too the album is a collaboration with Alan Feanch who also wrote tons of beautiful (library) music, usually more in the orchestral / easy listening genre.

Otherwise, perhaps the best music is what went into the Flash Resonance series, from which I've posted tons of stuff in the past (see here or here): Times Incidence, Flash Resonance Incidence, Flash Resonance Wild Flower (my favourite personally), Flash Resonance Flash Themes, the one with the pretty girl sitting on her bike that reminds me of my childhood spent exploring the neighbourhood girls with my friends...  From there, the track called Ginievre:





That sound is very typical of the Flash Resonance sound we all know so well and love so much.
Lots of music to slog through, but some really memorable tracks altogether when whittled down to the sharpest few.  Btw I subsequently noticed The Stress (1973) is the same as Contrasts (1985) with titles rewritten.  The same result obtains with Gruppo Sound Dossier with the same music as World Faces.  So to be honest there are only a dozen albums in the package below.  Go sue me.  I doubt you would even have noticed had I not told you.

If there's any interest I can post the tele music ones he made of which I think there are 7, but they were more disappointing to me.  Anyways, more to come, unbelievably, from Michel (so far digitally missing).
