At the turn of the 90s, Philippe Cohen Solal, then musical director for Virgin, becomes one of the first music supervisor in France and works on film scores by Arnaud Desplechin, Nikita Mikhalkov, Lars von Trier, Bertrand Tavernier or Kieslowski, then later composes for Tonie Marshall, Christian Vincent and Didier Le Pêcheur. He meets the very young composer and arranger Christophe Chassol with whom he will sign early 2000 soundtracks, during these sessions they create together the soundtrack of an imaginary film where music would be our spiritual food.The majority of themes are composed by Philippe with his musical partner at the time Christoph H. Mueller before they formed the Gotan Project. Unveiled here for the first time, this album pays tribute to the art of soundtracks, inspired by the world of sophisticated arrangements by Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin and so many others. Add a touch of folk jazz with the singers Nivo and Gabriela Arnon and the voice of the brilliant Welshman, leader of Scritti Politti, Green Gartside.

2024 repressJuan Atkins and Moritz von Oswald – the two indispensable protagonists of the Electric Garden – plug back into the wilderness.‘Transport’ – the full length effort brings together a set of studio-refined sequences aimed at colonizing some of the dark energy thatpulsates through those areas that are thoroughly electrified, even if not ‘on the grid’.The Detroit-Berlin axis triangulated to a third point which, like the atomic particle that lives in two places at once, flickers between aform of techno-charged ambience and a futuristic club-jazz which cannot be broken down into constitutive parts.Borderland remains caught in a state of enraptured stillness, invisibly moving between every imagined future for electronic soundmaking.The result: a font from which springs serene and exhilarating musical ideas that vibrate with refined energy for sixty seconds in everyminute.
