La Planète Sauvage FIRE. DL/LP

What possessed the Scouse psych-folk modernists to work with Bob Earland, Dick Mills and Roger Limb and rescore René Laloux’s 1973 sci-fi animation? Regardless, they’ve replaced Alain Goraguer’s original chicken-scratch orch-funk ecstasies with some heavy’n’hairy prog thud, the occasional analogue whizz-bang and an intrusive Broadcasting House voiceover.
