Notes
The long awaited first ever reissue of the cult French soundtrack from 1973, Les Gants Blancs du Diable (AKA The White Gloves of the Devil) - the music from László Szabó's crime/drama starring Bernadette Lafont and Jean-Pierre Kalfon.
Somewhere between feline jazz, crazed orchestral pop, opiate jerk and lunar funk, the music turns on its multiple charms, seemingly led by a longing for both violence and calm, the driving force behind the record's dramatic power.
A power culminating in its two emblematic themes, Utopia and Couleurs, breathtaking and elegant melodies, casting a radiant light across all in their path.
A tragic beauty, somewhat reminiscent of the sombre notes of the La Planète Sauvage soundtrack, another hidden treasure from the 70s.
