Description:
Each week, 700 records are released throughout the world: almost 3,000 a month. Yet the media (press, radio stations and TV channelsas a whole) only present a few doze. Always the same few dozen. Often not the most exciting ones.La Planete Bleue has another approach, a dissimilar view, a fundamentally different perception... Light years away from the "best of" albums and other marketing projects, La Planete Bleue ignores record company sales edicts, market trends and the mood of label managers. Here, the only criteria are artistic. The choice of artists is not subject to negotiation. There is no compromise. Today, as many editors demand payment to include a particular track on their compilation (a fact of which the public are often unaware), such a radical editorial approach is unusual.

On La Planete Bleue, we explore the forgotten, unvisited continent of world production, since that is where the most fascinating creators are to be found. La Planete Bleue is relaxed about the latest trends, aiming its (modest) spotlight at artists who are often overlooked by fashion-oriented media. All over the world, musicians are searching for the sound of tomorrow. From Australia to the Middle East and Canada to Eastern Europe, artists are outlining new perspectives and inventing future swing. La Planete Bleue is their haven. Radio programme La Planete Bleue scrutinises international production to root out the most original works all year round. Here are a few of its greatest discoveries. Global and futuristic, this is the La Planete Bleue collection.

This is the story of a planet called La Planete Bleue (The Blue Planet). That was because two-third of its surface was covered by oceans. This planet made such a noise! It gave off a vast number of sounds... In fact, it was a real cacophony. You had to get up close to this planet - really very, very close - and put on your stethoscope to be able to hear individual sounds. Actually, this is the story of a guy who visited this planet with a stethoscope in hand. The sort of guy known as a listener. But you look familiar... Wasn't that guy you?!

The Blue Planet that as rejoined our record galaxy today is the concrete result of an experimental radio programme that has been playing the airwaves for years in Switzerland (Couleur3), America (Radio Canada) and France (Radio Nova in the recent past). The ideas behind this record are the light years from the simplistic commercial aims of the usual compilation: it is a space-timeless panorama of the infinite regions explored by the probing pioneer Yves Blanc. Steering clear of facile assimilation and the passing whims of fashion, he conjugates music in the past future, questioning received wisdom and blending the tribal and technological, the organic and synthetic, the prehistoric and futuristic...
