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 !
