Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes

Still not sure what exactly the percuphone is and how it works though

Glad I'm not the only one.

the initial impact of their sound is psych / freeform, it's all being held doiwn by those relentless, driving plucked metric 8th notes, it is total techno

Thanks MP for crystalizing why I'm obsessed with this band's sound

first time the 2bis album has been released on cd?

also been noticing some recent lp reissues of the alpes albums, though not sure how legit they are.

i think maybe it was on CD in Japan? (as everything seems to be)

i had kind of forgotten about these records. they are great. i will listen to them again today.

American reissue of the first three! Vinyl only.

Glitch on my part, not *the* first three obv when you're starting with No. 2

I was just looking up the reissues I'd seen reviewed in some of the monthlies and saw that box set Integrale des albumes originaux which I'd somehow missed hearing about.
So was wondering what the sound was like.

I got the 4 lp box set back in 2012 and found it a bit quiet.

So wondered about this. I assume its decently remastered etc

holy shit the guitar and organ work on Paix blows my mind

I just listened through the bunch of lps they have on Spotify and the late 70s ones sound pretty good.
THey have the first lp the one with Bis and then the 3 after Le Rat Debile
Looking forward to hearing the box set. Hoping the sound is good, the material is pretty good throughout the 70s, not quite as sure about the 1980 one.
