Mecanique Végétale - " Musique pour Self-Service " - ( Grafika Airlines – GRA 8 ) 1981

No not Mecanique Vegetable, its végétale, Belgian for Vegetable, and Mecanique is Belgian for Clockwork.............yes, Clockwork Vegetable for us Anglophones out there.
Released on the rather marvellous Grafika Airlines cassette label from.....Belgium; this is an outstanding creation of epically hypnotique, minimally electronique proportions. Reminds one greatly of the equally superb Sea Of Wires, from around the same era. Most likely they used the exact same budget synths, made to sound even lower budget by the splendid medium of ferric oxide cassette tape.
So, get in your home made flotation tank and regress to the analogue beauty of "Musique Pour Self-Service".( wether that alludes to some sort of masturbatory accompanyment I do not know? Its up to you.)

So L'Orange mécanique doesn`t mean Clockwork Orange then? Or did the french translators of the film/book make a cock up?
