Pierre Henry – Machine Danse

I play this album today to honor the work and the ing of Pierre Henry, one of the most innovative and totally BEYOND of all European composers; a man whose magnificent opus will be sured only by the enduring influence of his legacy.

First strange thing is how this record got no original reissue on cd with the author still active these days, everyone its this should have been remastered or something else on Cd format.

Second strange thing is that the french Philips vinyl got less sound quality (more dust clicks and humming, less details in music) output if compared with the canadian version manufactured by London Records of Canada, wich keeps a stronger surface gloss and a deeper sound without any dust noise.
Surely London Records in Canada used high quality vinyl in the pressing plant and this can be seen in other Canadian Philips records of the era, i guess it coulcd have been the fact that this subsidiary was linked with Decca and his high deluxe vinyl pressing due to the classical music catalogue, as well the "phase 4 stereo spectacular" series of recordings.
But above all is that Pierre Henry during first years of the seventies until this 1973 lp was in a big high creativity process, delivering 4 of his most acclaimed albums one after the other: despite this, both "cortical art" records and this one are left in the original old style vinyl issue, wich became a treasure to find for specialized conoisseurs worldwide.

We ask Henry to manage to remaster this wonderful work on Cd again, surely will be a fullfillmet for many conoisseurs and will receive a newly acclamation for one of the best musique concrete album EVER.
