Sidharta
Scoop O.s.t
This extremely rare 45rpm was released in 1973 for the soundtrack of the movie 'Scoop'. It consists of three instrumental tracks, 'Scoop', 'Spin' and 'Prif 73', taking up about 6 minutes per side. Influences are Pink Floyd, Deep Purple (period Mark 1), not to mention psyche and Krautrock, 'Prif '73' being the best example with lots of acid heavy guitar and delirious organ. The song name is certainly linked with the inauguration of the Paris ring road opened in 1973. The film tells the story of a journalist (see the movie name) investigating a mad scientist who has found a way to read in the brain.... Lasting about 50 minutes, it was projected only 2 times in a film club area called DIAF 16. For music, the film was shown in a cellar of the Champ de Mars where the band improvised before the images. No further information was sent to me by the film's director, who does not remember at all who plays on these securities and does not want to be related to this project. The group name, Sidharta with one D, followed in brackets 'Solenoid' on the cover, in fact the name of the first film, 'Scoop' is the following. Recorded in mono, the original vinyl is very damaged and have not found another copy for a loan, restoration work was needed before the repressing of 500 copies..
