Peripheral Minimal is proud to present the new 12" by the French
electronic pioneer, Philippe Laurent, entitled, 'Phoenix'. This will be
Philippe's second release on Peripheral Minimal after the infectious
synthetic classic 12", 'Mithra'. Phoenix is a three track E.P. featuring
two brand new tracks on the A-Side, 'Phoenix', and, 'Agapao'. Meanwhile
over on the B-Side, we have the 13-minute electronic opus and highly
representative of his early work, 'Exposition 4', a never before
released track from Philippe's extensive archive, and recorded in 1982.
The E.P. Is representative of Philippe's latest forays into contemporary
synth music, but still with a retro futurist edge and influenced partly
by German pioneers Kraftwerk / late 70s Kosmische and au courant
electro / synthwave acts, fitting into the current enthusiasm for early
80s synth pop and minimal wave.
