Alain Bashung En Studio CD

These radioactive sessions, for the most part unpublished, were discovered forty years after their recording. In 1981, after more than fifteen years of artistic impasses, discographic false roads, and commercial ravines – Alain Bashung, who began in 1966, has just landed two hits in quick succession as improbable as they are delightful. The era is one of change, of “singing tomorrows”, and its allure promises crazy tomorrows. Alain Bashung could have capitalized on this hard-won success, however, he took another course. He caught the eye of the Spanish playwright Fernando Arrabal, and composed the music for his play, to experiment with his band The use of drum machines and a synthesizer, the stripped-down sound dressed in oblique guitars, constituted the perfect soundtrack of the time.
