#49 Feat. Hype in Electronica

WRWTFWW Records is wonderfully proud to announce the long anticipated official reissue of Chrysalide (1978), the sole album from French multi-instrumentalist and enigmatic genius Michel Moulinié. The krautrock/ambient/minimalism paragon is available digitally for the first time ever. Originally released in 1978 on Ange and Jean-Claude Pognants mythical prog rock label Crypto, Chrysalide is a fusion of minimalist meditations, cosmic soundscapes, and ambient with a human warmth, carried by a profoundly beautiful and unique use of twelve-string guitar, bass, and violin. Ideal for an introspective listening experience, the hypnotic Kosmische Musik of Michel Moulinié belongs to the same psychedelic family as Manuel Göttschings Inventions For Electric Guitar, Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells, early Tangerine Dream, and Steve Hillages innovative guitar mastery. WRWTFWW listeners might also be reminded of the labels seminal French release, Dominique Guiots LUnivers de la Mer, which makes a great spiritual pairing with Chrysalide. Escape into the vast universe inside yourself : On entre à pas feutrés Dans une musique rayonnante Aux variétés chatoyantes Embrasement consécutif Dun univers cristallin Perlé de notes transparentes Un écho céleste emplit la vastitude De fines gouttelettes de sons fluides Se transforment en cascades multiples Baignant le microcosme Révélant la grande paix divine
