Francis Plagne - Udge LP hidetag2021 gym-teacher whistlesI love me some Francis Plagne and while it's too early to call, this might be my favourite of his. Udge' sits between the Robert Wyatt y instrumentals of 'Rural Objects' and his musique concrete mode. It sometimes alludes to the songcraft of Funeral Mutes' but viers away keeping thangs trippy mane. Apparently there's eleven separate untitled tracks here, but my listening experience was of sketches, skeletons of songs, sound pieces, etc coming together
