The first-ever vinyl edition of Cités Analogue (1988) by French duo Lightwave brings a long-overlooked kosmische and concrète masterpiece to light, expertly revived by Bureau B. Perfect for fans of Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Claude Eloy, or Oneohtrix Point Never, this album offers an expansive, cinematic journey through analog synthscapes.
Following their debut Modular Experiments (1987), Christoph Harbonnier and Christian Wittman crafted Cités Analogue using an intricate array of RSF, ARP, Roland, and Oberheim modular systems. Recorded on a Revox B77 tape machine, the album unfolds in vivid, dreamlike vignettes and widescreen compositions, blending finely layered analog synths with poetic concrète influences. Highlights include the ambient textures of "Airport," the Radigue-like tonal subtleties of "Correspondence pour ailleurs," and the rhythmic sophistication of "Le Parvis."
The album’s centerpiece, "Agora," echoes Jean-Claude Eloy's grandeur, while "Cités Analogues" channels Tangerine Dream’s pioneering spirit. Tracks like "Polycentre" and "Ophelia" showcase Lightwave's ability to evoke awe and exhilaration, making this release a treasure for analog synth enthusiasts and kosmische explorers alike—a long-overdue celebration of their visionary sound.
