Heratius – Gwendolyne / Les Boniments 2xLP

A hidden gem from the notorious Nurse With Wound list ! Limited to 500 copies, this double LP features Heratius’ studio album Les Boniments (1979) – never before released on vinyl – and the first ever vinyl reissue of Gwendolyne (1978). Heratius could be described as like a mix of Etron Fou Leloublan and Faust (in acoustic mode that is), with hints of Albert Marcoeur, Red Noise, in a music that is full of invention with typically French eccentric touches. The Heratius album Gwendolyne was also much touted by Chris Cutler (of Henry Cow fame) at the time as the French Faust.
