Created in 1967 for Maurice Béjart's landmark ballet at the Avignon Festival, Messe Pour Le Temps Présent brought together electroacoustic pioneer Pierre Henry and composer Michel Colombier in a groundbreaking fusion of orchestral writing, tape manipulation and contemporary dance rhythms. Conceived on the eve of the cultural upheavals of 1968, the work captured the spirit of a generation seeking artistic and social transformation while anticipating production techniques that would later define electronic music. Driven by the iconic Psyché Rock, now widely regarded as a precursor to electronic dance music, it's influence continues to resonate across generations. This deluxe edition brings together the original 1967 recording, a selection of remixes from Métamorphose (1997), and Pierre Henry's previously unreleased Fantaisie Messe Pour Le Temps Présent (2013), his final reimagining of this enduring masterpiece. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the recording and the centenaries of Pierre Henry and Maurice Béjart, Decca Records France presents a limited-edition vinyl, pressed on 180gm vinyl and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket featuring a new liner essay in French and English by Philippe Cohen Solal (founding member of Gotan Project).
