2024-03-27 285

"Le temps de l'autre" was originally released with the gatefold artwork showing Catherine Ribeiro in a Mona Lisa disguise with a joint in her mouth, which was banned in from a second pressing as it was considered offensive. The album is a mixture of acoustic folk guitars, electronic music, freeform prog, chanson, majestic solemn keyboards lines, a guitar taking a weird violin sound, with highly politic/philosophy contents. Catherine's vocals ranging from shouted out/screamed and often spoken words as usual on a carpet of bass and organ drones.

Catherine Ribeiro - vocals.
Patrice Moullet - guitars.
Daniel Motron - organ, pianos.
Jean-Daniel Couturier - bass, guitar.
Jean-Louis Do - drums.

Le temps de l'autre.
Cette voix.
Aimer quoiqu'il arrive.
Le silence de la mort.
Kel epik epok opak! (Quelle epique epoque opaque).
