Goraguer, Alain
Rare Soundtracks & Lost Tapes
Transversales Disques proudly presents Alain Goraguer 'Rare Soundtracks & Lost Tapes'. French composer Alain Goraguer who first made a name for himself as a sideman and arranger for Serge Gainsbourg wrote very few soundtracks, but amongst them, the legendary 'La Planète Sauvage' (1973) is an absolute staple of France's essential music. During that same period, Goraguer wrote two rare scores. On 'L'Affaire Dominici' (1975), Alain Goraguer creates a theme of great melodic clarity from a palette of breathy flutes, clavinet D6 baroque textures, wah-wah guitars and slow-paced drums that clearly reminds La Planete Sauvage's atmosphere. The same can be said about the score of 'Au Delà De La Peur' (1975) with its descending clavinet melody, twanging bass riff, funky drums and flashes of bended electric guitars. This record also includes never before released tracks from the vaults of French national radio. All audio remastered.
