Francois de Roubaix

The incredible François De Roubaux’s musical career was short (1963-1976) but endless in its intensity. His discography and considerable music production give out a unique energy, synergy and personality, while his style, blending effortless melodies and tone breaks, folk and electro sounds, tempo jazz and crazy pop, is immediately recognisable. Here a album with some hidden treasures stowed away in his archives, especially his short-film musical works produced between 1963 and 1973, appearing on this record. The sense of gimmick, attention to detail and the rich orchestration all combine to make these tracks, revived at last, a magnificent extension of François Roubaix’s work.
