Bernard Szajner - Some Deaths Take Forever

Second in a series of expanded CD reissues by visionary French electronic composer Bernard Szajner, who first made his name as a lighting designer for Magma, Gong and the Who. Having invented new instruments such as the laser harp used by Jean-Michel Jarre, Szajner began to record experimental, conceptual albums of his own.
Originally released in late 1980, Some Deaths Take Forever is a deeply emotional, sometimes disturbing musical account of the feelings of a prisoner on death row, conceived as the soundtrack to a short film by Amnesty International. The album mixes dark, angular and unnerving electronic textures with dynamic rock arrangements, guest musicians including Bernard Paganotti of Magma.
The expanded 60 minute CD features three previously unreleased bonus tracks, recorded in 1982.
