Francois De Roubaix

Belgium's Wémè Records present their 2nd collection of music by French film music guru, Francois De Roubaix. While their previous edition featured his more electronic productions, 'Courts Metrages' compiles 14 shorter film works made during his short musical career 1963-1976, effortlessly spanning folk, electro, jazz, psychedelic tone breaks and unclassified incidentals recently discovered in lost archives. There are a number of other, fairly exhaustive Fracois De Roubaix compilations doing the rounds, but his cult audience should be over the moon with this unreleased goldmine of characteristically playful, richly detailed and ultimately charming music.
