"Issued by the band Pataphonie - whose own 1975 debut for the Pôle label is something of a neglected classic - as the only other release on their Féeri Music imprint aside from their second album "Le Matin Blanc," "Souvenirs" dazzles out of the gates with its backwards-masked synthesizer filigree, segueing into some fantastic zones of minimal-click percussion, tape-guitar manifestations, and some fine, edit-heavy assemblage that recalls both Jean Marc Foussat's seminal "Abattage" & the more open-ended / experimental passages of the early-mid Richard Pinhas / Alain Renaud oeuvre; elements of the razor-sharp metallic percussion & tape-guitar filigree remind me of Michael Sahl, Bruno Menny, & Klaus Röder's similar exploits, albeit coming from more of a psych-prog foundation." -Alphastate
"French artist Luc Marianni has a past as a journalist and was a one time member of the band Rock Critics. He launched a solo career in 1980, and released five albums in quick succession then, mostly exploring music with a basis in electronic oriented music." -Prog Archives
