Cam Sugar is commemorating the 50th anniversary of As La Planète Sauvage with a deluxe edition of the soundtrack. This special release features a mix of the soundtrack using recently discovered multi-track tapes, and includes 7 previously unreleased tracks as well as 3 alternate mixes.
Back in 1973, a mesmerizing animated film took the Cannes Film Festival by storm. René Laloux’s La Planète Sauvage, illustrated by the talented Roland Topor, captivated audiences and received the prestigious Special Jury Prize. The film tells a thought-provoking tale of anticipation, depicting a world where giant blue creatures known as the Draags use humans as domestic toys. Renowned composer Alain Goraguer brought his exceptional talent to this production, crafting a haunting main theme that is both melodic and clear. The soundtrack resonates with hypnotic atmospheres and strikingly blends funky rhythms with the expressive use of the wah-wah effect on the guitar, reminiscent of the iconic Isaac Hayes from the Shaft era.
As the years went by, both La Planète Sauvage and its remarkable score have steadily gained recognition, earning a place in the hearts of new generations who see it as a psychedelic pinnacle and a celebrated masterpiece of French pop. The film and its soundtrack have influenced artists from various genres, particularly in the rap and hip-hop cultures. Renowned musicians like A$ap Mob, Madlib, Mac Miller, and countless others have sought inspiration from it, incorporating samples or creating unique remixes that pay homage to this timeless treasure.
With Cam Sugar’s deluxe edition of the soundtrack, mixed from the recently discovered multi-track tapes, fans can now enjoy an even deeper immersion into the cosmic world of La Planète Sauvage. This release not only includes the beloved original tracks but also unveils 7 previously unreleased gems and 3 alternate mixes, making it an essential addition to any music collection. Celebrating the half-century milestone of this extraordinary film, the deluxe edition allows fans to experience the magic and allure of La Planète Sauvage in a whole new way.
