Le Plan [LP] (Numbered)

Heldon - Le Plan [LP] (Numbered)

The French progressive electronic rock act Heldon originally existed from 1974-79. The constant in the band was guitarist and synthesist Richard Pinhas who became known as the father of French electronic music between his solo releases and his work with Heldon.

'Only Chaos Is Real' (2000) was the first release of new material by Heldon since 'Stand By' over two decades earlier and showcased a darker more industrial sound that took full throttle '80s King Crimson and crossed it with the vocal energy of PiL stretched across riffs of searing Jazz-Rock fusion all performed by crack French musicians. It also included vocals from sci-fi writers and philosophers who Pinhas had been working with on his solo releases during the interim.

'Le Plan' consists of four tracks from that album given new life after being remixed by Pinhas in 2023. The very first time that this music has been made available on LP format it has been somewhat overlooked in the Heldon oeuvre yet more than ever it predicted and reflects the world as it is now.
