I came to music MOONDOG accidentally heard "Bird's Lament" on France Musique. What I discovered the music of the "Celestial Tramp" has confirmed this thunderbolt, while opening doors for me on many strange landscapes, disconcerting but always pleasant, refreshing, songs of a certain innocence lost. .. and contrast, the absolute paradox between the simplicity of the melodies always strictly tonal, and complex orchestrations based on the classic rules obsessively observed: counterpoint, canon, fugue and variations. This album brings together two very different LPs: 1 MOONDOG rather jazzy and symphonic, with rich, deep colors and MOONDOG 2, following minimalist songs to the simplicity worked, often against a backdrop of Amerindian rhythms. One side "hippie" very precursor. But are there only brief glimpses of abundant creativity that will continue to evolve until the years 199O.
