[CP 314 CD] Collectif Et Cie (C.01) [C60], Collectif Et Cie (C.02) [C80]

August 2025; colorful (the design on this one really snaps; doing the saturated, ultra-zoomed in dot gains of the original editions justice!) double-disc compendium of the first two tapes released in 1986 & 1988 by the Annecy-based "Collectif Et Cie" (Collective & Company) featuring work by composers & architects, Philippe Blanchard, Bernard Donzel-Gargand, Christophe Lyard, Philippe Moënne-Loccoz, Frédéric Obringer, Joseph Raguin, & Patrick Rutgé across damn-near 2.5 hours of impeccable mid-late-80s underground Musique Concrète! This particular intersection of the "Institutional" Electronic Music aesthetic w/ what was undoubtedly by this stage more of an underground, tape-trader, post-Industrial milieu is endlessly fascinating; these extended pieces range from expert-level Modular Synthesis grappling, to early experiments w/ Generative & Algorithmic forms, to the kind(s) of gained tape-mulch more commonly associated with such intrepid travelers as Maurizio "M.B."
