Jean-Pierre Bourtayre


I love the way the internet can link you from one place to another, and then another and you end up somewhere unexpected and yet fantastic in mere minutes. Today's find is this beautiful soundtrack by Jean-Pierre Bourtayre to the 1982 French animated movie Les Maîtres du temps (aka Time Masters). The film was directed by René Laloux with designs by Moebius. Jean-Pierre was one half of Universal Energy, whose track Disco Energy is a classic slice of cosmic disco. Now to find the movie on DVD.....

Just listening to the Bernard Estardy & Jean-Pierre Bourtayre collaboration right now...DISCOENERGY!...that led me to my occasional search for The Time Masters soundtrack which in turn led me here. All the soundtracks to the three great Rene Laloux animations (Fantastic Planet, Time Masters & Gandahar) are sublime slices of cosmic electronica but so far I have only ever tracked down the Fantastic Planet soundtrack so I may have miss-read your blog but are you saying you have got your hands on the Time Masters soundtrack??!?? If you are able, I would love to know where you got it from!
