Flash Resonance: Space Resonances

Released in 1980 on Charles Talar Records, Flash Resonance: Space Resonances represents a distinct moment in the late-seventies and early-eighties French library music scene. This record was produced as high-quality production music, a genre designed to provide atmospheric and versatile background scores for film, television, and radio broadcasters. During this era, French labels like Charles Talar were prolific in commissioning talented musicians to explore the intersection of jazz-fusion, progressive rock, and burgeoning synthesizer technology.

The album was composed by Christian Chevallier and Alan Feanch, two figures embedded in the European session music community. Their design intent was to capture the 'space age' aesthetic popular at the time, utilizing electronic textures and tight, studio-polished arrangements to evoke futuristic themes. While intended primarily for professional use rather than public retail, these albums have since gained a dedicated following among electronic music enthusiasts and crate-diggers who prize the record for its innovative sound design and rarity.
