"Lombard's debut is an absolutely gorgeous, startling document of melancholic chanson psychedelia that staggeringly foreshadows the eerie, incorporeal sci-fi pop of Stereolab and, more specifically, earlyBroadcast by about 30 years." – Other Music “Beautiful pop songs sung in French by this Belgian maverick (who worked with Luciano Berio) swirling upon wonderful 60's abstract-expressionism orchestrations: lovely dream bass lines and organ drifting, with dreamy use of echoes, reverbs and sometimes electronics. There are incredibly beautiful songs here, and probably one of the unique example of French songs with really gorgeous, untypical sound work, closer to some UK and US proto-psychedelic orchestration in pop world. It was by the time a complete commercial flop. Any serious fan of Broadcast or Stereolab will fall in love forever with this true secret gem, to say the least. Masterpiece here? Hell yes!” - Emmanuel Holterbach *A cult album from 1969 reissued for the first time with the rare original French edition gatefold artwork. *Produced by Roland Kluger (Chakachas, Free Pop Electronic Concept...), arranged by Willy Albymoor and recorded at the legendary Madeleine Studios in Brussels. *Insert with liner notes by pop connoisseur Don Sicalíptico."
