{"product_id":"vanay-laurence-galaxies-lp-77857831261","title":"Laurence Vanay - Galaxies [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaurence Vanay is the pseudonym for Jacqueline Thibault, wife of producer and musician Laurent Thibault (Magma). Her debut album \"Galaxies\" (1974) is pure genius: incredible, spacey \"progressive chanson,\" rivaled only by the early work of Brigitte Fontaine for pure inventiveness. An album of inconspicuous, sincere beauty, a masterwork of the French progressive music scene, and a Holy Grail for collectors of 70's underground French music. Sublime compositions: unique, melancholic and very powerful. \"Galaxies non-chalantly locates an almost exact midpoint between You -era Gong, Brigitte Fontaine, and Françoise Hardy, with attractively naïf French-language vocals negotiating bittersweet melodies and jazzy, cunningly asymmetrical grooves. And the Elysian title track is, in Magma-speak, very \"zeuhl.\" - Record Collector\"Thibault never seems to use more instruments than necessary - 1970's sacrilege! - which gives the tracks a relaxed, soothing feel, due in no small part to Thibault's ever-present organ washes, spare piano figures and gentle vocals, as well as her use of acoustic guitar, flute, and hand percussion.\" - Dave Mandl, The Wire\"Since childhood, I improvised and composed songs and instrumental music... it seemed to me that music was the true language of emotions. It was with great difficulty that I managed to record the albums \"Galaxies\" and \"Evening Colours\" in very limited time with the means at hand, and with the help of faithful musician friends.\" - Jacqueline Thibault.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalepsie (4:26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemain (2:39)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLe Loup Qui Pleure (2:31)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Grand Voile (2:52)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoleil Rouge (2:55)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLe Coeur Lourd (3:08)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuste Te Revoir (2:42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLe Bateau (4:26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeux Phares (2:57) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalaxies (4:47)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"705","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50571001659688,"sku":"77857831261","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2372915.jpg?v=1763989281","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/vanay-laurence-galaxies-lp-77857831261","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
