§ Cover has some creases and a couple of sligtly crushed and bent corners - inner sleeve with tape for adjust split corner.
Of course being this a ralease of 1984 cover looks a bit aged...
Tape-loops experiments, musique concrète and location recordings, out-there lo-fi song and speeches that sound like they were never intended for public consumption.
The elusive allure of Vidéo-Aventures is challenging to capture.
Their second LP, Camera (In Focus) (1984, Tago Mago, France), reveals an album with a conviction in paradox that serves only to magnify their mystery.
Plunging feverishly where their debut (Musique pour Garçons et Filles, 1979, Recommended Records) traipsed and alighted with informed whimsy, Camera (In Focus) Camera (Al Riparo) retains the duo of Dominique Grimaud and Monique Alba, abetted strikingly (and, often, surprisingly) by Jac Berrocal, Guigou Chenevier (Etron Fou Leloublan), Sophie Jausserand, Gilbert Artman (Lard Free, Catalogue, Urban Sax), Cyril Lefebvre, and Daniel Deshays.
The result is a tour de force in several significant respects.
Vidéo-Aventures employ elements of musique concrète, disjointed and enfeebled speech, accelerated percussion, and synthesized physical function (pulse, breathing, etc.).
The chronicle of a singular process from a single perspective, it narrates the deterioration of a mind in the aftermath of duress.
