Canadians Le Pouls from 1976, fresh rip from vinyl, lossless limited time only

 

Well, I gotta say I'm a little disturbed by that cover, but I'll leave it at that. Information here for this one-off band, with the French word for 'Pulse'. I read however that the founder of the band, Denis Lepage (who married singer Denyse, as it happens) is described thus:

From Montréal, Québec, Canada.Married Denyse Lepage and together formed the pioneering electro-disco duo Lime (2), reaching club success in the early 1980's. Denis LePage later came out to be transgender, singing under alias Nini No Bless. Passed away august 21-2023 (Montréal, Canada)

The music is divided between the fusion we love (all written by Denis Lepage), and simple or silly  funky pop, with perhaps a preponderance of the latter, sadly. At least they were a bit fair about this sibling rivalry. Anyways the fusion pieces are so wonderful it was well worth resuscitating this enterprise.

Among those outstanding compositions, we have the ethereal and otherworldly flight patterns evoked by the synths on the Ocean Cosmique:

And another stunning fusion creation called Hymne au Soleil:

Too bad it's not a whole album filled with joys like this, right?
