Description
Climage is a truly special album, created by the former leader of Uppsala (and before that the obscure band Absinthe). Here’s how La Discographie du Rock Français describes his Cauvin’s music: “Philippe Cauvin presents utterly original and unique music, embracing elements of classical, medieval and contemporary music, as well as folk, rock and jazz. Nicknamed the "Martian troubadour", he elaborates and develops some very polished and pure melodies, which are sometimes stamped with melancholy, always strange and powerful, and on which the modulations of his counter-tenor voice unite with and are superposed upon the delicate and sensual chords of his acoustic guitar. Philippe Cauvin weaves a music which is refined, ethereal, sensitive and poetical, overflowing with imagery and color, mixing his guttural and onomatopoeic singing with the baroque and heavenly sonorities of his guitar to produce some unclassifiable and bewitching music which is surely some of the most original ever invented in our galaxy.” I’ll just add that listening to this album brought the music of Diethelm and Famulari to mind. Cauvin is an extraordinary guitarist, and he’s joined by a handful of guests. Released in France on Ki Records in 1982, this comes with an insert. The cover is in Ex-- and the record is in Ex+++ condition. (For more info on my grading system, click on the “me” icon above.)
