Sauvage

At the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, an animated feature film caused a sensation and won the Special Jury Prize: La Planète sauvage by René Laloux, with phantasmagorical drawings by Roland Topor. For this philosophical tale of anticipation, where men serve as domestic toys for blue giants, the Draags, the immense composer Alain Goraguer unleashes his inspiration with a haunting main theme, of great melodic obviousness, soaring and hypnotic climates , but also pursuits with a rhythm with very funk accents, wah wah guitar in support, as if Goraguer was reaching out to Isaac Hayes of Shaft.

Catherine Sauvage Catherine Sauvage Bien sûr, l'une des plus grands dames de la chanson française de la seconde moitié du XX e siècle. Une présence exceptionnelle et une diction d'une rare intelligence, au service d'un répertoire d'une magnifique exigence. Sa contribution à la poésie chantée reste immense, puisqu'elle interpréta aussi bien Hugo que Mac Orlan, Prévert, Aragon, Soupault, Carco, Eluard, Desnos, Audiberti, Seghers, Baudelaire, Vian, Lorca, Brecht et bien d'autres… Sans oublier Ferré, dont elle sera la toute première interprète, ni Vigneault qu'elle aidera à faire découvrir en France. Biographie En 1940, la Seconde Guerre mondiale la pousse, elle et sa famille, jusqu'en zone non-occupée à Annecy. Charles Trenet lui donne le goût de la chanson, du théâtre amateur et de la scène.

Synopsis : Les Rebelles noirs, une quarantaine d'adolescents casques et bottes, revêtus de blousons de cuir marqués d'une tête de mort, prennent la route sur leurs motos. Ils assistent à une course de motos, envahissent la piste et volent un prix. Ils disparaissent jusqu'à la petite ville voisine qu'ils vont occuper peu à peu jusqu'à la mettre complètement à sac.

Opéra sauvage is a 1979 album, by Greek composer and artist Vangelis, of the score for the nature documentary by the same title by French filmmaker Frédéric Rossif. The album sleeve design is by Vangelis himself. Vangelis produced this album during his electro-acoustic period, which was one of the most productive in his musical career.

"We couldn't call it 'The Wild Child', because it's hard to translate 'L'Enfant Sauvage'. It's not really the wild child as understood in English, because a wild child for me, has an aspect like someone out of control somehow. 'L'Enfant Sauvage' in French… 'Sauvage' is something that is not educated or something that is like free and completely free in nature. A wild flower that goes wherever she wants and becomes something beautiful. The idea with 'L'Enfant Sauvage' is like with a human that would grow up in nature, raised by wolves, for example, without the influence from others and the influence from institutions or society in general. Without a social security number. Not even a name. This is what you are and I am on the inside, right? How much the education and the culture, emotions and the guilt are interacting with us and it changes us and how far are we from this pure child inside? That's the question we had on this album."

Leave it up to the French to make the kitchy sound so seductive. 'Shake Sauvage' is an exceptional compilation, and although it handpicks scores between 1968-1973, it continues to sound erotic, fresh and groovy today. But the CD's strength is in it's musical merit, wonderfully rich compositions and textures, bordering on complexity without straying too far away from 70's cheekiness. Orchestral in it's production, seductive and flirtatious in it's spirit. Swinging soul-jazz instrumentals, a lush soundtrack to romance and coy glances.
