On My Degeneration: Electronics 1974-1983, Pascal Comelade emerges not as the toy‑instrument miniaturist of later years but as a solitary electronics alchemist, charting a decade of raw, laboratory‑grade synth experiments that stretch from kosmische drift to fractured proto‑industrial pulse.

I first encountered Pascal Comelade’s music thirty years ago—and nothing has sounded quite the same since.

Comelade seems to work like a watchmaker: meticulous, precise, and obsessive—yet always drifting into something dreamlike. His music opens hidden doors, telling strange and beguiling stories filled with obscurit…

While much of Comelade's early work hints at many of the major electronic movements to come, Sentimientos remains earthbound and organic. Melodic fragme…
