BERNARD C.
SOCIALIST REALISM 7"
Illusion Production
Gimmick styrofoam cover
Very rare minimal-synth-experimental single from obscure mastermind Bernard C released back in 1981 on the great Illusion Production label.
Some info on the release: A really great release from this very obscure and rather unknown minimal-synth-experimental artists released on the great french Illusion Production label (DDAA, Legendary Pink Dots, Bene Gesserit, Un Departement, La Societe des Timides A La Parade des oiseaux, etc.)!!
Some words about Bernard C from the internet: "My favorite Illusion release, this one was a revelation in the 1980s, leading me to explore the area of ‘concrete song’ as I called it then, or electroacoustic song-writing as performed by the likes of Yximaloo, Ghédalia Tazartes, H.N.A.S. or Biota, the latter mostly instrumental, though. The mysterious Bernard C is on keyboards, saxophone, tibetan or assorted percussion instruments and hushed vocals. As far as I know, he wasn’t a member of DDAA, and this is basically all I know about the guy. This is a truly unique collection of magical electronic song vignettes to which the only comparison I can think of is french Art & Technique (the 1981 ‘Clima-X’ LP, reissued on Spalax, 1998). The music and track titles are indeed reminiscent of Art & Technique. ‘Lieu Magique’ features short tracks, combining synth sounds with real instruments in a very peculiar way. There is a strangeness in the sounds, as if coming from Saturn (like Sun Ra or Franco Battiato). Drum machine, live percussion or electronic pulsations are used to create soft rhythmic sonorities on which all kinds of weird additional sounds will pop up. Then the hushed vocals, the echo-drenched saxophone or the multi-tracked tibetan percussion will add the leading ‘voice’ of the song."
