This isn't going to be for everyone but for those of you who dig electronic music from the mid stages of it's growth (1970's) this will be a deluxe treat stumbled on this one through one of the Notorious Longo Brothers of the Longo Yardworks Union infamy if you can/have the time try to listen to this all the way through without having break or freak out because if ya do your certainly on your on your way to something special
Here's some links about the composer Pierre Henry One Two and this one which i don't know much about
01.Breath
02.After Death
03.After Death Two
04.Peaceful Deities
05.Wrathful Deities
06.The Coupling
07.Breath Two
This one is interesting too: Pierre Schaeffer & Pierre Henry: Pioneers in Sampling (http://emusician.com/em_spotlight/Pioneers_Sampling/). And thanks for posting this. :)

Great. Thanks. I feel insprired to post a track over at my place from his Messe pour le temps present, that has been re-issued on CD and is one hundred percent fabulous.

Great post, Dude - thanks!
Nothing like 'ancient' electronic music from the 60s (this was recorded in 1963).
When are you going to repost
'Silly Surfers?"

Fabulous! I love classic electronic music and this is a wonderful example. As you can tell by the amount of comments this is getting perhaps more electronic is in order!

To paraphrase the late, great Frank Zappa, 'these are more than just some groovy sound fx'.
Man, this one really hits close to home, a lot of my own 'experiments' in soundscapes were inspired by Mr Henry. I have eleven releases of his 'solo' works (without Schaeffer) and the 'Brother' still managed to post one I didn't have! Awesome 'share' my man ;-)
btw Mr. Record Brother, 'buried' somewhere on my 'Singularities' page is a piece with strong similarities to this, it quite surprised me as I have never heard this particular work of Henry's, I guess I am behind my own time!

One more thing. Your post 'The Glory Stompers' became the center of a 'Mind Map' I made of my musical memories/exposures/influences. Now this Henry post touches upon my current interests with a direct hit! How'd you do that? ;-)

Ah, one of my favorites. I have been wanting to play this for a friend of mine forever and have not gotten around to ripping it to MP3's. I thank you my friend.

Try Messe pour un temps present whith Michel Colombier for the Pop part of this masterpieceand Maurice Bejart for the dancin'light part.
Those are great poeple and creators of "the new music eara who still influence till Daft punk (for french greatest butt movers) and detroit new soul swing(thank you Jeff Millssss) MOD - ERNS still rulling POW!

The Zeet Band - "Moogie Woogie"
Milton Delugg - "Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon"
