Long before the large audiences came to discover him in the middle of the Eighties, Pascal Comelade has always been an electronic and electro-acoustic music lover. Influenced by or having relationships with musicians like Richard Pinhas, Brian Eno, Robert Wyatt, Carla Bley or Michael Nyman, this French artist has been able to create a music often described as minimalist, made of concise melodic fragments and brief musical experimentations. Listening to Back To Schizo - 1975-1983 enables to measure how much the master of toy-instruments has been a precursor of the present electronic fashion, particularly by the use of the famous AKS-EMS synthesizer. This sampler, released by the Gazul label and directed by Pascal Comelade himself, comes back to the best sequences of the three studio albums ('Fluence', 'Paralelo' & 'Sentimientos'), various tapes and numerous contributions to compilations. The right moment to open a brand new thematic collection on the Gazul label: Les Zut-O-Pistes. This is a fascinating collection of evocative and innovative music, to be discovered as soon as possible
