1973年改編自法國小說《Oms en série》的科幻動畫電影《La Planète Sauvage》(奇幻星球 Fantastic Planet),2012 曾在 高雄電影節 Kaohsiung Film Festival 上放映。
原聲帶由法國爵士、作曲家 Alain Goraguer 所製,法國樂團 AIR曾受其影響;另外,底特律Hip Hop 製作人 J Dilla 也曾取樣過 "Le Bracelet" 這首曲子。
Animated sci-fi masterpiece La Planète Sauvage (a.k.a. Fantastic Planet), winner at Cannes Film Festival in 1973, is a bizarre and beautiful film. Towering blue-skinned figures, tiny humanoids in the midst of revolt, and drug-induced Tantric sex transport viewers to a truly magical setting.
Composer Alain Goraguer creates an equally hypnotic score from a palette of effects-laden guitars, flutes, Fender Rhodes and strings. While the lush arrangements are reminiscent of Goraguers collaborations with Serge Gainsbourg in the 1960s, space-age synth flourishes suggest a more psychedelic era. Moody vignettes flow together in tense, slow-paced funk rhythms and Baroque textures.
It comes as no surprise that La Planète Sauvage has been cited as an influence on contemporary artists such as French duo Air and American hip-hop producers J Dilla and Madlib. Gorgeous, interplanetary soundscapes resemble the surreal meeting point between Pink Floyds Obscured by Clouds and Broadcasts Future Crayon.
This long out-of-print vinyl release features the original soundtrack recording and newly designed artwork. Recommended for fans of Ennio Morricone, Basil Kirchin and David Axelrod.
