Here's the other solo library album by Bulot, this preceeding the one I posted a few months ago here. Not your typical library, here Bulot once again brings you into a strange mythical land where spooked post-punk bass flange meets elf-prog nylon guitars and gypsy wizard synth; a dreamlike place where violins and xylophones mingle with electronics in very subtle ways. It's an impressive feat of Bulot having performed all the myriad of instruments by himself. It's prog, it's new-age, it's folk, it's experimental electronic...
All praise aside, I must confess I'm not a really big fan of the sort of semi-celtic violin sounds that occur throughout this album, although they sound seamless and dreamy. I am not at all a fan of celtic music. There, I said it. However, that is not to say that this is necessarily a celtic-tinged album. I'll shut up now. Enjoy...

Thankee!
ReplyDeleteloving your blog dude!
ReplyDeleteThis is really wonderful. Loving the other Bulot as well: almost as good as Metal Sunrise!
ReplyDeleteGotta say how much I love your blog: probably my favorite library source at the moment, due to your discerning taste and your fantastic editorials on the albums you post. I'd been turned off of library for a while, but you've gotten me addicted again.
Thanks for the kind words!
ReplyDeleteI wish more music blogs would pay as much attention to the quality of the review as to the quality of the music posted. I know I would rather visit a blog with 50% less posts as long as the text that accompanies the post is informative and/or creative...other blogs could definitely take a proverbial leaf out of this blog, where else can you get a review like this:

Sounds excellent!!
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks and my respect for all your hard work.
Those two Serge Bulot albums you posted have been on such heavy rotation for the last two or three months and given the fact they really defy any neat categorisation, I think your comments did an excellent job of conveying the incredible otherworldy quality they radiate.
ReplyDeleteHope everything is well in Lunaratrium land!
Apparently he played in an ethno-folk prog band called Pachacamac, in the 70's. I don't know anything by them and don't have any idea of Bulot's involvement, but other than that his stuff from the era seems sparse. Well, there are a couple of tracks on the "Marathon Life" library album too...
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting some things again soon. I've been lazy, and need to rip some stuff...
hello all, Mr Lunar sir absolutely top job.... wonder if anyone out there has any contact details for the PSI/ Musique Pour L'Image label at all? Desperate to get in touch....
ReplyDeleteI don't have the slightest idea if they are even still operational on any level.
ReplyDeleteI see that you haven't posted in a couple of months. I hope you aren't planning on calling it quits. I was interested in adding your blog to the "Library Music/Exotica/Lounge" category of my Digital Meltd0wn Music Blog Aggregator & Blogroll @ http://music-bloggers.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind, could you please drop by and leave me a comment if you would like me to add your blog. Thank you and take care.

Hi, I'd love to be on the blogroll, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not calling it quits, just haven't had the proper time to rip and post records lately. I do have some interesting things lined up somewhat soon.
Can't wait to hear this one, I enjoyed very much that Milpatte/Bulot split album. Thanks again! (Sorry for me not saying thanks more often, in fact not at all if I'm correct, which is shameful for me...)
ReplyDeletethis has been one of my favorites, for a few months now just stopping back in to say "thank you!"
ReplyDeletethanx
ReplyDeletegreat album
