In the mid-1970s, Parisian composer and multi-instrumentalist
Thierry Müller began operating primarily under the
Ilitch moniker. Juxtaposing dark, electronic soundscapes
and solo guitar improvisations, Ilitch created some of the
most enduring music of the era. It comes as no surprise that
Nurse With Wound included Müller on their famed list of
influential avant-garde artists.
Originally released on Oxygene Records in 1978, Ilitch’s
debut Periodikmindtrouble was a shot across the bow
for the French underground scene. Comprised of instrumental
four-track recordings made in Müller’s dorm room,
the album features gritty tape loops, analog synth swells
and angst-ridden guitars. “Sequence 4” fills the stereo
field with eerie harmonium and kosmische textures, while
the side-long title track is a bona fide organ soliloquy, exploring
both abrasive and ambient sonorities. “Derriere La
Fenetre (Behind the Window)” dives deeper into acoustic
patterns to reveal the expressive quality of Müller’s singular
style. Periodikmindtrouble lays the groundwork for an
impressive body of work that has grown only more unsettling
over the past three decades.
This first-time vinyl reissue comes packaged in a gatefold
jacket and is recommended for fans of Cluster, Fripp /
Eno and Heldon.
