Deleuze Part Deux
Purveyors of French prog of course will be familiar with Deleuze's appearance on Heldon's 1974 debut Electronique Guérilla. The side-long "Le Voyageur" consists of Deleuze reading "some texts by Nietzsche" over Richard Pinhas' synthesized wizardry. First referred to as "Ouais Marchais, Mieux qu’en 68," the track was laid down in a studio outside of Paris, the session being attended by Jean-François Lyotard (The Postmodern Condition). The song was originally credited to Schizo, pressed up in small quantities, and passed out gratis to all the heads in the Île. It turns out Pinhas and the philosopher were lifelong friends, and Pinhas, himself a philosopher, hosts a Deleuze-centric webpage where one can peruse writings, photos, and even mp3s of the man at work. And if you ignore the kinda lame musical descriptions, there are some nice photos of Heldon and their hella tight 'dos here.

We did a legit reissue of the Voyageur on the back of the first Schizo 7"! Ep style cover. We are also the distributors for RD , who did the New Age LP
