Puissance 13+2 (2lp)
Reissued on DOUBLE-LP, these are amazing recordings by the cream of the French prog and psych underground, first released in 1971 on Thélème, a boutique label owned by Magma bassist and Barclay Records manager Laurent Thibault. The album was recorded (live and with no overdubs) at the legendary Chateau d'Hérouville studio.
