Le Monde Electronique de François de Roubaix features tracks from "La Scoumoune" (the 1972 movie starring Jean-Paul Belmondo from director José Giovanni), "La Mer est Grande" (a sea-going adventure serial from 1973 by Philippe Condroyer), "R.A.S." (AKA "Nothing to Report" - the 1973 movie from Yves Boisset), "L'Antarctique" (Full title "Voyage au bout du Monde: L'Antarctique" - a 1974 documentary from Jacques Cousteau) along with some bonus tracks.

With a passion for electronics and galvanised by the techniques that came from "music concrete", not too mention the whole range of sound effects and different ways of manipulating the results, de Roubiax established himself as a high-wire acrobat of experimentation, the young beatnik/do-it-yourself cousin of the two Pierres (Schaeffer and Henry). François de Roubaix also had a passion for associations bewteen acoustical and electronic instruments and the multiple combinations that would result. "In fact", he recalled, "it's the mixture between the two genres, traditional music and electronic music, which corresponds with what I want to do. I'm trying to build a bridge between folk music and research".
