I Guarantee anyone that bought this 45 holds it as one of their most cherished records! No one found this thing in the dollar bin, if you have it, it cause you really wanted it and were willing to do anything for it. Ever since I heard this, I was on a mission. Not only is it the best Francois De Roubaix record but it's for a very beautiful Lesbian Vampire Movie, WHAT!!!! I've heard these songs so many times that I'm too used to them, but when I think back to my first experiences with them, I just remember absolute goosebumps. Francois De Roubaix is just a soundtrack genius, right up there with Cosma, Vannier. He is just as gnarly as he is soft and sweet and there are 2 very different periods for his greatness, the acoustic instrument period and then the later electronic period. I greatly prefer the electronic period except for this record. I don't think I've ever heard someone try so many things in the course of 2 songs, it's like a mini concept album. I've taken the luxury of seperating "Les Dunes Ostende" into 5 parts mostly so you can get straight to the dope ass beat at the end of the song. I've also included the songs in their complete form as well. One of the reasons I know there's not a GOD is because he wouldn't of allowed such a musical astronaut such as Roubaix to die so young. I hope you enjoy my rip @320K of course. Thanks Chris Tillotson GET IT HERE!

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
Cheers Chris!
ReplyDeleteWow, great catch!! Have you heard my version on one of my album? I have a friend here in Montreal, she has this record and last year she watched the movie sat with the blonde actress on the left (a french canadian actress) at Fantasia film festival in Montreal. She's a kind of a hardcore fan of the film and the soundtrack so that was a big moment of her life! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Frank, yeah I have heard your version, it's super dope man. That's awesome that your friend had that experience I'm sure it would be a big moment in my life as well, when ever I meet someone I consider a hero I always turn into a big fan boy and ruin it, haha.
DeleteHi to all,
ReplyDeleteI did meet this year De roubaix's son. He's in his late 30's now. His dad died from a diving accident when he was a baby. It must of been strange growing up in the shadow of this musical genius. He now composes jazz music and is really a nice friendly humble lad. De roubaix's was only 36 when he died !!! ...And what a discography in that lapse of time...I listen to alot of Hiphop and hear samples from his scores all the time...He was really ahead of his time...Cant wait to listen to this...Many thanks from Paris/France...
That's awesome that his son is composing jazz and you're right he died so young but at least it was doing something he loved, diving into the unknown!
DeleteLove this one-thank you!!!
