Various - Noises LP
First time reissue since the release in 1977 on 180 gram vinyl. Includes two new postcards as an insert, including liner notes by Michel Moers and the original lyrics of Aman and drawing by Ariel Kalma.
In 1977, about a year after the last Placebo concert took place, Marc Moulin met the young musician Michel Moers at the jazz venue ‘Les Lundis Hortense’ in Brussels. He invited him to the small studio of his friend Dan Lacksman to work on the music Moers made at that time, ‘Ma Mère Etait propre’, ‘Musaque Etniq’ and ‘Il Est Heures’. A few weeks and recording sessions later the trio decide to start an electronic music group together − named Telex −, and to release the short miniatures of Michel Moers on the compilation ‘Noises’. A rather uncommon collection of songs that ranges from stunning vocal harmonies of an early Ilona and Eric Chale, over Marc Moulin blending a speech of Belgian King Boudewijn with reel to reel tape techniques to a trance anthem zonin’ already into a Moskow Diskow-frequence, or Michel Moers discovering an unknown Deliverance vibe with a mouth harp and flute, Daniel Plasschaert stretching out an amazing new world in only 50 seconds, next level field recordings by Robert Altaber to Ariel Kalma who transforms a poem by Thibet Marpa in a mesmerizing ambient composition. An amazing compilation still oscillating 40 years later into the pop waves.
