Lasry, Teddy
E=mc²
Paris-born Teddy Lasry was a member of the experimental French progressive rock band Magma. With Magma, Lasry recorded the very successful albums 'Magma', '2' (originally "1001 Centigrades") and 'Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh', which became the band's commercial breakthrough. But Teddy Lasry left the band before they went back into the studio for 'Köhntarkösz' in 1974. The multi-instrumentalist aimed for a solo career, signed a record deal with RCA in Paris and released the highly acclaimed album 'E=mc2' in 1976. In addition to bassist Jannick Top (also Magma) and drummer Andre Ceccarelli, Lasry played almost all the instruments on the atmospheric electronic album himself, in the tradition of Mike Oldfield. After more than forty years, there is finally a re-release of this French masterpiece of electronic music for the first time on CD.
