Discogged here. I posted him before, in relation to the wonderful Gymnastique (1979) and Meli-Melodies (1981) albums, and Drone, which came in between, is the one he's most famous for I guess. In later years he wrote more classical style chamber music which is also beautiful, usually involving a grand piano playing simple patterns with violins weaving in and out of it, but altogether not so varied as these early works. Having said that, I do really love De Anima, and La Divine Nature des Choses. Even a couple of years ago he released Salon Noir, which is still quite similar. The overall quite melancholy sound to his work is appealing to me, in particular at those times when I read the world news.
Olivier Cote on the other hand is the percussionist on this first album from 1976, but Goude wrote most of the music. I think here the zeuhl influence is most prominent-- after all he was a member of the great Weidorje band, with Paganotti and Patrick Gauthier.
Consider the second track called Piege (trap):
And how can you not admire the sheer oddness of his Melodie, especially with the odd synth sound buzzing there in the background:
