Library composer Bernard Lamastre in 4 albums 1984-1986











From discogs:

Régis Raymond Justin Marie Charles Delaye

Both Kush (Quiet Earth) and Lamastre (Quiet Animals) are remarkably adept composers on the 1986 Quiet Times and in fact sound very much the same, surprisingly.  I thought the whole album was written by just one person so I was surprised it was a collaboration.  Quiet Earth (Kush):



Quiet Animals (Lamastre):



The Secrets album I found disappointing, being a bit too generic horror-movie style simplistic.  Here and there some nice composed passages, eg the string quartet piece, but mostly drony and one-note.

Same goes for the other two thrown in here, not masterpieces at all.  Seems the Quiet album was the one opus magnum.  Perhaps someone can clarify.

Traquenard from Cocktail (cowritten with Briffa) shows he was capable of great compositions:
