Gestation Sonore

Souffle Continu presents the eighth release in it's series of reissues from the catalog of the cult French underground Futura label. We just wanted the sound, the raw sound-texture, before being treated and shaped by any cultural code, recalls Georges Alloro, member of Horde Catalytique pour la Fin. Formed in 1967, the French avant-garde quartet played instruments from Western, African, Middle-Eastern, and Far-Eastern cultures. Their sole album, the unique Gestation Sonore (1971), is the intriguing result of an improvisational session that unsurprisingly later found it's way onto Nurse With Wound's famous list. This is it's first-ever vinyl reissue, fully licensed by Futura founder Gerard Terrones. Presented in a 350-gram reverse-printed sleeve with obi strip. Limited edition of 500.
