It’s one of the enduring mysteries of so-called Party Shuffle (the esoteric implications of which have been discussed previously on this very blog) that it pretty much always throws up a Heldon track, and pretty much always this one - despite me having but one Heldon album, Electronic Guerilla, on there (one being quite enough, thanks).

I’m not complaining, mind, I just wonder why it is that my computer has such a thing for French synth-prog. Maybe it’s trying to tell me something. Maybe Heldon are trying to tell me something. Maybe Richard Pinhas is affronted at being left off that weird prog thread that’s trundling away on the Plan B forum. I heard those French prog groups were big on psychic warfare - or maybe that was just Magma….but I’m taking no chances. Here’s to the French Fripp. And Magma. Now leave me alone.
