Cosmic Machine, The Sequel shines a light on France’s under-appreciated psychedelic electronics of the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Because Music is releasing a second compilation of cosmic French music, collecting rare avant-garde productions from a wide range of obscure artists.

As RA reports, Cosmic Machine, The Sequel is the follow up to 2013’s Cosmic Machine: A Voyage Through French Cosmic & Electronic Avantgarde, a compilation that delved into the country’s hidden world of psychedelic electronics from the 1970s.

The 22-track collection has been selected by French vinyl enthusiast Olivier Carrié, and includes tracks from early Moog composer Roger Roger, Anarchic System, Georges Rodi, Richard Pinhas and more.
