Clivage - Mixtus Orbis (1979)


Stellar prog from a band led by French composer André Fertier. Epic, jazz-infused prog rock with some elements of Indian classical and the aid of the Philharmonic for good measure. Somehow, neither this nor the other two Clivage LPs have ever received an official re-release; meanwhile, a distributor tries to get my store to order $25 reissues of Marcy fucking Playground's "seminal debut."

Track listing:
1. Mixtus Orbis - Movements 1 Through 6
2. Eudjal
3. Fatoum Astris - Intro, Part 2, Part 3
4. Youssoufia

In spite of these times

Also listen to:
Quella Vecchia Locanda -
Il Tempo Della Gioia (1974)
Maneige -
Les Porches (1975)

  3. Both Clivage are great! And those $25 reissues of that band i never heard of are going away for 250, we are doomed for sure. Thank you for your blog and your funny and witty comments, forgot how good blogs can be!
