Moulin,Marc - Sam Suffy (Sealed) (LP)

Marc Moulin's debut LP 'Sam Suffy' (1975) is a compelling and unique mosaic of jazz, soul, and electronic elements that employs sampled sounds and sequencers to startling effect, vividly anticipating the music of the not-so-distant future. While rooted in collective improvisation, some tracks foreshadow the emergence of house music via their underlying electronic motifs. With all its complexities and innovations, 'Sam Suffy' is above all a listening experience in particular, closer in spirit and scope to trip-hop than the more abstract fusion classics. Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
