This 1973 album, originally conceived as a score for an unrealized animation project, captures de Roubaix's signature blend of analog synthesizers and musique concrète in a more ambient, abstract setting than his typical film work.
- "Les Anges" was released on the small label Pathé Marconi, not on a major imprint.
- The album remained obscure for decades, a deep cut for dedicated fans of de Roubaix's electronic experiments.
- Its influence can be felt in the work of later ambient and electronic artists who cite de Roubaix as an inspiration.
François de Roubaix was a French composer known for his innovative electronic scores for film and television. At the time of "Les Anges," he was at a peak of his creative powers, having recently scored the acclaimed film "La Scoumoune."
