French guitar/synth duo featuring John Livengood (Red Noise) on synthesizers and Ivan Coaquette on guitar (Clearlight, Delired Cameleon Family, Musica Electronica Viva...). Featuring pieces from 1973, 1975 amd sounds recalling pre-Zuckerzeit Cluster, Atem period Tangerine Dream, The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Gong, Clearlight or Heldon, this French private-press album is one of the most acid, dark and free-form records from the whole progressive era. As the pieces tittles suggests, Spacecraft music is highly cosmic, astral and overall, acid. The first piece sends the listener in the third dimension without preamble. The music is not structured, it’s purely experimental. Ivan Coaquette guitar interventions are quite rare but qualitative: he has a unique cosmic sound which sounds like no other. The last piece “Pays De Glace” is a fascinating experimental hypnotic repetitive tune which is so weird and cerebral that it may be anguishing.
First ever LP reissue housed in silver-mirror paper cover. Limited to 500 copies.
