Messe Pour Le Temps Present (1967).<\/em><\/p>\n Electro-acoustic composer Pierre Henry probably wouldn’t thank you for calling Psych\u00e9 Rock<\/em> his finest moment but it’s a favourite of mine. It’s also his most well-known composition although most people know it as a putative inspiration for Christopher Tyng’s theme to Futurama<\/em>. The YouTube version here<\/a> is the original mix. Many other uploads are later remixes which disgracefully downplay the wonderful out-of-time synth shrieks.<\/p>\n Too Fortiche \/ Psych\u00e9 Rock \/ Teen Tonic \/ Jericho Jerk (1967). Credited to “Les Yper-Sound”.<\/em><\/p>\n Psych\u00e9 Rock<\/em> was the second track on Messe Pour Le Temps Present<\/em>, an album of music composed in part with Michel Colombier. (It was also released on an EP with three other Henry\/Colombier tracks, and later as a single in its own right.) The Messe<\/em> section of the album was the score for a Maurice B\u00e9jart dance piece, a small example of which can be seen here<\/a>. There’s also this silly dance sequence<\/a> from French TV featuring stripping meter maids.<\/p>\n Moog Indigo (1970).<\/em><\/p>\n Another French composer, Jean-Jacques Perrey,\u00a0 looked from inner to outer space in 1970 with E.V.A.<\/em><\/a>, a track on his Moog Indigo<\/em> album. This sounds very similar to Psych\u00e9 Rock<\/em>, albeit less wild and much more groovy, and may also be an inspiration for the Futurama<\/em> theme. This train of associations has given E.V.A.<\/em> a life beyond its album release.<\/p>\n As to Futurama<\/em>, there’s a mass of clips and themes of differing lengths out there. I’ll mention Fatboy Slim’s remixes only to say that I’ve never been very enamoured of Quentin’s compositions so the less said about him (and them), the better. Les Jerks \u00c9lectroniques De La Messe Pour Le Temps Pr\u00e9sent Et Musiques Concr\u00e8tes De Pierre Henry Pour Maurice B\u00e9jart<\/em> was available on CD as recently as 2009 in a package which shows some of the equipment<\/a> used to produce its sounds.<\/p>\n Previously on { feuilleton } Messe Pour Le Temps Present (1967).
