| Heldon |
|
|
| Stand
By |
|
| (Cuneiform) |
|
| Heldon’s 1978 final album
documents the |
|
| overlooked French
electronic rock band at |
|
| their most focused,
aggressive, and intense. |
|
| Patrick Gautier’s
battery of analog synthetics |
|
| sounds fresh and vital
compared to today’s |
|
| digital presets, and the
juxtaposition of |
|
| Richard Pinhas’s stinging
guitar against |
|
| driving, vertiginous
sequence patterns and |
|
| combative bass/drum
interplay suggests an |
|
| alternate-universe
collaboration between |
|
| Tangerine Dream and the
Butthole Surfers. |
